BMW officially confirms using new round-format battery cells in its ‘New Class’ electric models from 2025. Partners will produce the cells in six factories with annual capacities of 20 GWh each. BMW has confirmed CATL & Eve Energy as suppliers.
These include tripling global renewable energy capacity, doubling the pace of energy efficiency improvements and transitioning away from fossil fuels. This special report brings together the latest data and information on batteries from around the world, including recent market developments and technological advances.
With the new BMW round cell specially designed for the electric architecture of the NEUE KLASSE models, it will be possible to significantly increase the range of the highest-range model by up to 30 percent (according to WLTP). The new BMW round cells come with a standard diameter of 46 millimetres and two different heights.
The BMW Group has already awarded contracts in the two-digit billion-euro range for production of the new BMW battery cells.
Eve Energy already has the appropriate knowledge for the cells, as the company is the production partner for the extremely fast-charging 4680 cells of the Israeli battery developer StoreDot. In the future, Eve Energy could also locally supply the BMW plant under construction in Debrecen, Hungary, where the New Class will initially be built.
The battery cell is responsible for electric vehicles’ core properties of range, driving performance and charging time. For the sixth generation of BMW eDrive technology used in the NEUE KLASSE, the company has fundamentally refined the cell format and cell chemistry.
The company is set to launch a new era of e-mobility from 2025 with the models of its NEUE KLASSE – using newly-developed round battery cells optimised for the new architecture for the first time.
