BMW plans to use Tesla-style battery cells—called 4680 by Tesla—in its new crop of EVs. But when will we see these in cars we can buy?
. The newly developed round cells promise longer range on a full charge, as well as faster recharge times and cost reductions as high as 50% compared to current cells used by the automaker.BMW has been able to reduced the cobalt content in the sixth-generation cells, while also engineering them with a higher nickel content on the cathode side—improvements that increase volumetric energy density by over 20%.
"The newly developed sixth generation of our lithium-ion cells will bring a huge leap in technology," said Frank Weber, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for development.Tesla's 4680 cells"We are also reducing CO2 emissions from cell production by up to 60%. These are big steps for sustainability and customer benefits," Weber added.
The automaker also revealed the sixth-gen batteries will accommodate cathodes made of lithium-iron phosphate , allowing nickel and cobalt to be avoided in their construction.
