BMW turns to AI for better EV batteries

The long-term success of e-mobility hinges on battery technology. The past few years have witnessed huge improvements in energy density, charging times, weight and cost, but the technology still remains financially out of reach for most of the world’s drivers and relies heavily on rare earth materials that pose ESG concerns. In the quest for better batteries, many developers are turning to artificial intelligence (AI). BMW is one of the most recent to share its plans on this front.
