Tesla's decision to use cylindrical cells just got a new believer... Google search: BMW's new generation of electric vehicles, starting with the Neue Klasse series in 2025, will use cylindrical battery cells, with the BMW Group partnering with CATL and EVE Energy for production at six factories across China, Europe, and North America. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Cylindrical Cell Technology: BMW is switching to cylindrical battery cells, which are larger than the previous prismatic cells, to improve charging speed and driving range. Partnerships: BMW has partnered with CATL and EVE Energy to supply these cylindrical cells. Production Locations: The cells will be manufactured at six factories: two in China, two in Europe, and two in North America (one in Mexico, one in the US). Cell Dimensions: The cylindrical cells will have a standard diameter of 46 millimeters and two different heights (95mm and 120mm). BMW's Role: BMW is also developing its own cell manufacturing competence center (CMCC) in Parsdorf, near Munich, to support the development and scaling of battery cell technology. BMW's NEUE KLASSE: The new cylindrical cells will be used in the models of the Neue Klasse from 2025 onwards.
The video states only 5% of batteries are recycled... Patently false: Search Labs | AI Overview +4 While recycling automobile batteries is a growing focus, with advanced recycling techniques potentially recovering up to 95% of key raw materials, conventional methods generally recover around 70% of materials. Here's a more detailed look at the recycling of automobile batteries: Conventional Recycling: Conventional battery recycling processes typically recover around 70% of the materials. Advanced Recycling: Advanced recycling techniques can recover up to 95% of the key raw materials from EV battery packs, including nickel, cobalt, copper, and lithium, and feed them back into the battery manufacturing supply chain. EU Targets: The European Union requires electric vehicle batteries to be at least 50% recyclable by weight, increasing to 65% by 2025. Future Targets: European institutions aim to define how efficient the recycling process is, with new mandatory targets: 90% for cobalt, copper, and nickel, and 50% for lithium by 2027, and 95% for cobalt, copper, and nickel, and 80% for lithium by 2031. Circular Economy: The prospect of a circular supply chain for battery materials is attractive, as the critical minerals in Li-ion batteries can be recycled indefinitely without a loss of quality. Global Battery Recycling Capacity: Battery recycling capacity worldwide was estimated at 450 gigawatts-hour in 2024, up 32 percent year-over-year, and is expected to more than triple to 1,550 gigawatts-hours by 2030. China's Role: China is the largest battery recycling market, accounting for 75% of capacity in 2024.
