BMW has started testing solid-state battery technology in its i7 test vehicle in the Munich area.
The all-solid-state battery (ASSB) technology offers higher energy density and potential for longer ranges in vehicles.
BMW's collaboration with Solid Power aims to integrate ASSB battery cells with sulfide-based electrolytes for improved performance.
The partnership between BMW and Solid Power began in 2016, with BMW investing in Solid Power and planning to operate a solid cell prototype line at the Cell Manufacturing Competence Centre.
