BMW AG on Tuesday reported a 83% on-year jump in battery-electric vehicle sales for the first quarter.

The German car maker, which includes the BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands, said it sold 64,647 fully-electric cars in the first three months of this year. The BMW brand more than doubled EV sales in the quarter, it said.

Electric vehicles, along with the high-end premium segment, will be a main driver of the company's overall growth this year, said Pieter Nota, management board member responsible for sales.

BMW said it is on track to achieve its guidance of a slight rise in sales at the group level this year.
