BMW has already been researching electric vehicles for years - with the first one, the i3, coming soon. I personally don't like the i3's looks, but the i8 looks very promising. Anyhow, BWM has the relevant technology.
VW's position is more interesting. According to them, Diesel is preferrable over electric for a wide range of use cases. And I guess they are right as long as battery technology does not significantly improve.
