BMW has started testing fancy all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) in a prototype i7 with its tech mate Solid Power. Over the next several months, the two companies will work out how to get these fancy batteries to handle extreme temperatures and pressures, out of BMW’s Cell Manufacturing Competence Center (CMCC) in Parsdorf, Germany.
Solid Power, the battery chemist, is an industry-leader, looking to help carmakers lower costs, improve safety and increase battery energy density using clever chemistry.
