BMW Group & Rimac Technology Cooperate on Innovative High-Voltage Battery for the BMW I7 - CleanTechnica

BMW says the new battery system will improve range, energy density and charging performance for the flagship sedan.

  • On Tuesday, BMW announced a partnership with Croatian supercar specialist Rimac Technology to supply high-performance batteries for the next-generation i7, utilizing advanced Gen6 eDrive technology.
  • The Gen6 battery system utilizes 4695 cylindrical cells, delivering a 20% higher energy density compared to Gen5 prismatic cells and enabling faster charging and increased range.
  • Completed battery packs will be manufactured at the 90,000-square-meter Rimac Campus in Zagreb, Croatia, before shipping to BMW Group Plant Dingolfing in Germany for final assembly.
  • The i7 will celebrate its world premiere on April 22 at concurrent events at the Beijing Auto Show and in New York City, marking the vehicle's global debut.
  • This long-term project demonstrates Rimac Group's transition to a Tier 1 supplier for high-volume vehicle production, building on a supply agreement BMW established with the Croatian firm in 2023.
