While current BMW EVs such as the i4 employs 400V electrical architecture, the future Neue Klasse models will use 800V architecture for even quicker charging
Future developments will also see the new generation of battery cells show improvements beyond offering greater EV range. “Legislation is coming in to further guarantee battery life. For instance, the US will require a minimum 80% battery performance after 10 years. We’re performing better than that,” Albrecht said.
Environmental considerations extend to the manufacturing process of the batteries as well. BMW is also planning for six new battery plants in Canada, China, Europe, Mexico and the United States, which will be located close to existing car manufacturing facilities to reduce transportation requirements and therefore the associated emissions from transport.
