BMW has no plans for solid state until at least 2033

BMW is sticking with lithium-ion for the foreseeable future, with no plans to deploy solid-state batteries in series production vehicles in the next eight years. In a new interview with Autocar, Vice President of Next-Generation Battery Technology Martin Schuster doubled down on the approach taken with its Gen 6 batteries, remarking there is “a long way to go” with the technology before it’s time to move on.
