About a year ago, I visited BMW's Group Plant Munich to get a preview of the German automaker's ambitious plans for solid-state batteries, the concept car behind the Neue Klasse electric reboot and even color-changing cars. The Munich plant dates back to 1922. It has become a sprawling, high-tech facility that employs nearly 8,000 people from 50 different countries, is connected to its own museum, and is a vital part of BMW's company history.
