BMW News and Reviews

The latest innovation from global battery giant CATL, called a "condensed battery," has significantly higher energy density, promising better performance, longer range, lower weight, and increased efficiency. The big question is: how soon will we see them in our electric cars?

Toyota is one of the pioneers of electrification, having first introduced hybrid vehicles over 20 years ago. It continues to believe in offering a mix of carbon-reducing technologies such as hybrid, plug-in, and hydrogen in addition to battery-electric. Here's why.

BMW is an automaker that continues to diversify its interests in alternatives to current lithium-ion battery technology. One example: the company recently deepened its partnership with Solid Power, based in Colorado, and will begin pilot production of solid-state EV batteries in Germany.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are currently a niche technology, but offer numerous advantages compared to battery-electric vehicles. They refuel quickly, allow for longer range, and still generate no carbon emissions. BMW has long believed in hydrogen, and has started building hydrogen fuel-cell X5s.

BMW is now building fuel cell systems which will be used in a small series of BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicles. They will enter service around the world by the end of 2022 for testing and demonstration purposes. Read this article to learn more.
