According to Alpina's CEO, there is just no demand from Buchloe for an electric car. As a result, when we look at the company's portfolio, we discover that it is exclusively made up of classic combustion-powered vehicles.
Andreas Bovensiepen told BimmerPost that a recent study of Alpina customers revealed that they had no need for a hybrid or electric car right now. The major reason for this is that some of those clients drive 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers each year on the German Autobahn and want to get there as quickly as possible.
Alpina appears to be sticking to combustion-powered vehicles since that is what its client base prefers. That isn't to say that Buchloe isn't keeping an eye on the industry; the company just lacks the capacity to occupy specialized sectors.
Andreas Bovensiepen said:
“Our customers currently feel no demand for battery-electric models, This is also due to the high mileage: Alpina customers want to drive fast and accelerate strongly, especially in Germany - then, of course, the range is still an issue.
Many things are conceivable. But as he states:
our resources are limited. First of all, we want to build what our regular customers want. We observe the market and deal with the new technologies, but it is not to be expected that an Alpina will come as a BEV vehicle in the short term.”
