BMW continues to focus heavily on solid state battery technology that could allow to make its electric cars an important leap forward, especially in terms of autonomy. As Autocar recalled, the German brand aims to present the technology inside a demonstration vehicle in the course of 2025. For the moment it is not; given to know which car will be; equipped with these innovative accumulators.
It could be a car already existing adapted to new technology, a little as it is already doing; today the German brand with the iX5 Hydrogen with Fuel Cell power supply that & egrave; based on the X5 model. However, this demonstration car would then not go on sale. In addition to ensuring greater autonomy and speed; higher recharging, these batteries will also be recyclable in line with the ambitious sustainability commitments; of BMW and produced using a European value chain.
Furthermore, since it seems that these accumulators will have lower production costs , will be very important for BMW to bring the price of its electric vehicles closer to that of endothermic models. An important step in his electrification strategy. The goal of 2025 seems ambitious but it must be remembered that the manufacturer has been working on this technology for some time thanks to an investment in the Solid Power startup also made by Ford.
Of course, the fact that solid state battery technology can be shown in 2025 does not mean that it is actually ready to be used in large-scale production cars.
NOT ON THE NK1
Also around 2025 & egrave; the debut of the NK1, the first electric BMW equipped with the new Neue Klasse platform, is expected. This is a model that many compare to the battery version of the future generation of the BMW 3 Series. Car that should also bring the sixth generation of the eDrive system and new batteries to its debut.
However, it is unlikely that this model will be able to take advantage of solid state accumulators immediately. At the beginning, surely, I will have of & quot; traditional & quot; batteries even if of new generation to offer more & ugrave; autonomy and speed; top charging. However, this does not mean that the NK1 cannot use the new battery technology during its life cycle.
