ENVISION AESC AND BMW GROUP ANNOUNCE NEW PARTNERSHIPThis will be the third Envision battery plant in North America - maybe they'll be looking for a domestic cobalt source for their energy dense, extended range BMW batteries.
To support production, Envision AESC has committed to invest in a dedicated new 30GWh battery manufacturing plant in South Carolina, which will be powered by 100 per cent net zero carbon energy. Work is currently underway by the company to finalize a suitable site close to BMW Group's vehicle production and battery assembly facilities.
As part of the agreement, Envision AESC will supply technology-leading battery cells that result in 20 per cent more energy density, faster charging speeds and an extended range of up to 30 per cent for electric models produced in BMW Group's Spartanburg plant by 2030.
