Those cars don't even sell in high enough numbers to make any discernible global environmental impact, but politicians don't care about facts and logic.

Anyhow the iX3 seems fine minus its lackluster range. It's OK for daily SUV stuff but many families go on road trips often. When I lived with my folks we'd make the trek from Seattle to Vancouver BC at least 5-6 times/year in our X5s. 'Aint nobody trying to sit for hours at a "fast" charger when one can fill gas in 5-10 mins, especially at nighttime.
BMW's plan is to continue to offer all power trains for quite sometime

Full Electric , Hybrid and ⛽️ Gasoline cars will be made on shared platforms

The only 100% "built from the ground up EV" in BMW's portfolio is the new BMW iX
