New Way to Recycle Electric Vehicle Batteries to Expand Electric Vehicle Line

According to foreign media reports, BMW Group hopes to use wind turbines and recycled batteries to drive machinery responsible for the production of i3 electric vehicles to increase the environmental protection of the production chain.

Po immediately said in a speech on Thursday that it will connect 700 recycled i3 electric car batteries to store the energy generated by the four wind turbines of the Storage Farm of the Leipzig plant, which will help the car production in the future. .

The BMW Leipzig plant is responsible for the production of the 1st and 2nd models, including the ActiveTourer models, in addition to the i3 and i8 models. This move will help Leipzig's plant to reduce its demand for electricity during peak hours, while at the same time achieving the goal of protecting the environment and promoting the transfer of BMW to the electric vehicle sector. BMW will continue to expand this project in the future, including adding more wind turbines.

Connecting batteries to an energy storage management system also means that BMW has the ability to store energy. BMW CEOHaraldKrueger said that the project is very substantial, so that the recycled battery can be reused. BMW will also transfer excess capacity to the national grid. The current energy storage can be used by 50,000 households for one month.

Joachim Koller, director of BMW Energy Services, said that BMW's i3 plant is our blueprint for future development. BMW also hopes to become a leader in the production of high-end electric vehicles. In the future, it will also increase the production of i8 plug-in hybrid sports cars. It is estimated that by 2025, BMW will launch 25 electric vehicles, including 12 electric vehicles, to expand the electric vehicle product line.
