BMW and Rimac Technology partner on future high-voltage battery tech

As with all trends, different manufacturers are experiencing different fortunes during the current EV vicissitudes. After an expensive learning and adaptation stage with the first i3, BMW finds itself on the high side currently, deliveries of the i4, iX1, and i7 up 41% in the first quarter of the year and the Munich automaker projecting 20% of its global deliveries in 2024 will be battery-electric. Hitting the 20% target would be a 5% gain over 2023. Continuing to look to the future, BMW announced it has signed a long-term partnership with Rimac Technology to «co-develop and co-produce innovative solutions in field of high-voltage battery technology for selected battery-electric vehicles.» This means high-voltage (800 volts or more) packs and architectures for future BMW products, neither automaker hinting at what those products might be.

Last year, Rimac chief Mate Rimac began talking about his ideas for the Project 3 Mobility (P3M) division he created as a separate arm within Rimac.

In our minds, this indicates that the doors won't open in any direction but up… but this is speculation. Since we're guessing, let's throw out some other rumors that have been circulating.
