BMW, which has sold 8,000 electric cars in the UK, said on Thursday that it plans to have 25 electrified vehicles on sale by 2025, a dozen of which would be fully electric.

Governments keen to tackle air pollution and cut carbon emissions are driving electric car production, alongside falling battery prices. How many electric cars are there? While electric cars make up less than 1% of new car sales worldwide, there are now more than 2m on the road. Most of them - 90% - are sold in China, the US and the EU, although some countries are racing ahead, such as Norway, where nearly a third of new cars sold are electric.
