BMW Group and Our Next Energy (ONE), the Michigan-based energy storage company, have signed an agreement to fit ONE's Gemini Dual-Chemistry battery tech into the BMW iX electric SUV.
According to ONE, its unique long-range Gemini technology, which it demonstrated in January 2022 on a Tesla Model S that covered 752 miles on one charge, will enable the BMW iX to cover 600 miles (965 kilometers) on a full charge. Scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, the iX prototype vehicle will boast almost double range than the production BMW iX xDrive50, which has the longest EPA-rated range in the lineup at 324 miles (521 kilometers).
