A few days ago, at the Volkswagen Power Day event, the plan to establish six super factories with a total capacity of 240 GWh was announced to ensure future battery supply. However, according to CNBC, the BMW Group has no plans to manufacture automotive power batteries.
BMW CEO Oliver Zipse said that BMW has signed agreements with battery manufacturers from China, Korea, and Europe to provide sufficient battery supply for BMW in the coming years. This is completely different from Volkswagen’s approach.
In the face of recent news that chip shortages have caused several factories to shut down, Zipse said BMW is currently not affected because it ordered chips last year. Zipse also said that by 2023, 12 fully electric vehicles will be launched, and he hopes that by 2030, BMW’s pure electric vehicle models will account for at least 50% of global deliveries.
