BMW’s electric vehicles (EVs) are in the headlines at the moment, with the plug-in i3 announced as the winner of the New Zealand Car of the Year in December.

But BMW EVs of a different kind have been making a much bigger impact this year: GoBabyGo, a charity organisation that provides and adapts ride-in electric cars for children with impaired mobility, delivered its 50th vehicle in December. The organisation was founded just 16 months ago.

BMW is a major sponsor, hence the exclusive use of baby-EVs with the blue-and-white roundel. Other key sponsors include Allied Medical, a mobility specialist, and website company Zyber.
