BMW's new battery cells boost range by 30% and cut production-related carbon emissions by 60%
BMW believes that its newly-developed Gen 6 battery cells don’t just represent a massive leap over the prismatic cells that it currently uses but are even more advanced than the cells underpinning Tesla’s current models. The German car manufacturer recently commenced sample production of its new battery cells at the BMW Group Cell Manufacturing Competence Center in Parsdorf, Germany.
“In fact, we don't see a gap to Tesla… What we have here is a battery design that suits our products, and our idea of how driving performance is fulfilled in our cars.” While development of the cells has been done at the company’s facilities, it will not handle large-scale production. According to BMW, the “high-volatility” of large-scale battery cell production will be done by suppliers Contemporary Amperex Technology Co and Eve Energy at six different factories.
