The sixth-generation battery cells come in two sizes. Both are 46 millimeter in diameter, but the 120-mm tall cells are reserved for crossovers while the 95-mm cells work for smaller vehicles. Another benefit of the sixth-generation battery packs is cutting down on materials and cost.
The new facility will supply sixth-generation high-voltage batteries to German car plants. The BMW Group was granted permission to build the new high-voltage battery assembly plant in April 2024 and erected the first of more than 1,000 concrete pillars for the production hall in late June 2024.
The Gen6 battery technology’s efficiencies in manufacture will reduce CO2 emissions by 60%. It was the greater energy density available with the sixth generation battery chemistry that allows the cylindrical cell to overcome the packaging advantages of prismatic cells.
While there are big changes in how BMW implements the battery, there are also some nuances to what BMW implements in the battery. Gen6 batteries take advantage of cylindrical cells – you may know them from Tesla, Lucid, and Rivian fame. Many of the steps forward from Gen5 are a direct result of switching over to cylindrical cells.
Compared to the prismatic cells of the fifth generation of BMW battery cells, the nickel content is increased on the cathode side and the cobalt content is reduced at the same time in the sixth generation BMW round cells. The silicon content is increased on the anode side.
The newest Gen6 battery promises similarly impressive movement. It, too, is smaller and lighter, and BMW claims a 20% increase in density and a 30% increase in range. Maybe even more fascinating is that BMW claims their batteries aren’t even trying that hard. They could push the density higher or increase (or decrease) the power.
