BMW is aiming to reshape battery technology, and recent developments mean it could soon be a force to be reckoned with... ⚡
For now, BMW will only allow the use of lithium and cobalt taken from certified mines and has promised a no-secrets approach to the extraction methods used in the production of its batteries.
The good news for sceptics is that there’s a commercial benefit in doing that from an energy security point of view – so there’s plenty of incentive. Further gains in cost effectiveness lie in the fact that the cells are easier and quicker to make. Developing a certified network of sources should avoid supplies drying up due to geographical or political reasons.
This latest generation of batteries can also be produced using lithium iron phosphate , getting rid of the cobalt and nickel content altogether. LFP is commonly used for leisure batteries . Advantages are high charge and discharge efficiency, safety, long life and not being adverse to deep cycling. Beyond that, we should see a BMW demo vehicle sporting a development-level solid-state battery before 2025, with series production expected by 2030.
