"If you want to be resilient, you have to be flexible," BMW CEO Oliver Zipse said. BMW's EV offensive in the U.S. surges in 2026 with several X-line battery-powered crossovers plan-ned. The automaker will produce many of them in Greer, S.C., where it is investing $1.7 billion to produce at least six battery-powered crossovers. The brand will retain its Q designation for crossovers and A for cars, but it will designate EVs with even numbers and combustion-powered vehicles with odd numbers. That will mean, for example, that when the A6 E-tron EV debuts in 2025, the current A6 will be renumbered as an A7.
