On the 24th, according to surging news reports, following the Ningde era, BMW Group's power battery center in Shenyang will cooperate with Huizhou EVE Co., Ltd. to purchase battery cells from the latter.
It is understood that BMW is the first international luxury car brand to set up a battery factory in China. In October 2017, BMW Brilliance Power Battery Center with an annual output of 33000 sets of high-voltage battery packs was unveiled in Shenyang and provided batteries for BMW 5-series plug-in hybrid vehicles; In May of the next year, the Power Battery Center launched the second phase project to provide the fifth generation power battery for BMW's first pure electric SUViX3.
According to the report of surging news, Shenyang Power Battery Center mainly completes the research, development and production of power battery packs, and does not involve the production of battery cells in power batteries. The battery cells still need to be purchased. Before that, Ningde Times had been the main battery cell supplier of BMW Shenyang Power Battery Center, mainly providing square battery cells. On November 11, BMW Group announced that it would invest 10 billion yuan in the expansion of Shenyang Power Battery Center. This time, BMW's Shenyang Power Battery Center cooperates with EVE, or is related to BMW's 46 series cylindrical battery strategy in the future.
In September this year, BMW Group announced that from 2025, a large cylindrical electric core with a standard diameter of 46mm will be used in the "new generation" electric vehicle model. At present, BMW Group has signed production contracts with three major power battery manufacturers in China, namely Ningde Times, EVE and Vision Power.
