BMW Doesn't Think You Need More Than 621 Miles Of Range From An EV | Carscoops carscoops
will dramatically increase the range of its EVs but the automaker has no plans of selling cars that can travel more than 621 miles on a single charge.Neue Klasse platform
set to underpin a plethora of new models, including EVs. This platform will sport cylindrical-shaped cells as opposed to the flat, prismatic cells that the car manufacturer currently uses, resulting in vehicles with significantly more range. “Gen6 batteries will give us 30% or more range than our current Gen5, but we won’t go over 1000 km [620 miles] of range, even though we can,” BMW head of Efficient Dynamics Thomas Albrecht toldBMW’s First Production Neue Klasse Cars Will Be A Compact Sedan And A Sporty SUV
BMW’s new Gen6 cylindrical cells will be sourced from China’s CATL and EVE and measure 46 mm in diameter and either 95 mm or 120 mm in height depending on their application. These new cells won’t only allow BMW to dramatically increase the usable range of its EVs but could result in battery packs that weigh 10-20 per cent less than they current do.
In addition, Autocar notes that the newly-shaped cells have resulted in a slimmer battery pack that serves as a more important part of the vehicle’s structure.
