BMW has confirmed today that\u00a0round battery cells are being developed for the future Neue Klasse electric platform. Debuting in 2025 with an electric 3 Series Sedan built at the new factory in Debrecen, the company\u2019s sixth generation of lithium-ion cells will boost energy density by more than 20% compared to the prismatic cells that are being used today.<\/p>\n
BMW promises a \u201chuge leap in technology\u201d as round cells will increase an EV\u2019s range in the WLTP cycle by as much as 30% and boost charging speed by the same percentage. Neue Klasse<\/a> models will support 800V tech with fast-charging capabilities allowing owners to juice up their EVs from 10% to 80% about 30 minutes quicker than on the current crop of zero-emissions models.<\/p>\n
