The facility will test high-voltage batteries and other electric powertrain components for BMW Group's future models well before the start of production.
BMW Group announced it is investing around $106 million between now and 2026 in a new electric vehicle battery testing center in Germany as part of its ongoing e-mobility ramp-up.
"The BMW Group's Wackersdorf location is set to become a major facilitator for the transformation towards electromobility," said Site Manager Christoph Peters."In addition to supplying our overseas plants, cockpit production and, from 2024, door production for Rolls-Royce models, this will become Wackersdorf's fourth main area of activity. This, in turn, strengthens our location's future viability.
The testers determine the electrical performance of individual battery cells during charging and discharging under different conditions, allowing the simulation of use cases that will be relevant for customers later. Initially, parallel testing of several hundred battery cells will be possible, but once the ramp-up is complete, testing capacity will reach several thousand.
