BMW Sustainability in Battery Development

BMW is committed to bringing a sustainable automotive future to luxury drivers in Los Angeles and Hollywood. That’s why the batteries being developed for BMW vehicles are constructed with sustainable power.

At this time, the Leipzig plant is powered by four wind turbines and has been since 2013. In addition, the San Luis Potosi plant in Mexico uses energy from large-scale solar installations nearby. And in 2024, battery production will be contracted to a Swedish company called Northvolt. The battery cells will be produced with local wind and hydro power.
