BMW’s latest electric vehicle experiment is a doozy: an iX SUV capable of traveling nearly 1,000 kilometers (approximately 600 miles) on a single charge. That kind of EV driving range is seen rarely (if ever) in the current market.
The iX utilizes Our Next Energy (ONE)’s cutting-edge battery chemistry to offer a nearly unheard-of EV range. Called Gemini, the technology uses 20 percent less lithium and 60 percent graphite, and minimizes the use of nickel and cobalt. That makeup promises significantly less strain on the environment for each Gemini battery produced.
