We\u2019re getting closer and closer to the official reveal of the upcoming BMW\u00a0iNEXT<\/a>, the brand\u2019s flagship vehicle of the future. As its reveal draws near, the Bavarians have been hard at work putting the iNEXT to the test. A large part of electric vehicle testing is harsh weather testing, to see how the batteries and electric motors handle extreme temperatures. BMW already showed us the car testing in freezing temperatures in the Arctic Circle but now we get to see it in extreme heat, in the Kalahari Desert.<\/p>\n Testing in the desolation of Southern Africa will help the brand learn about how the car handles brutal heat, solar radiation, deep sand, gravel roads and permanent dust formations. All of this is to see if the iNEXT\u2019s components can cope with the extreme conditions. But it\u2019s not just to test the batteries and electric motor but also the interior electronics, suspension, regenerative braking and so much more.<\/p>\n
