200,000 BMW i3 EVs produced in Leipzig over nearly 7 years

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 20, 2020

The BMW i3 was the BMW Group’s first purely electrically powered large-scale serial model and also the company’s first vehicle with a passenger cell made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). It is shaped in Leipzig from carbon fiber scrims and assembled in a unique process developed by the BMW Group.

Cars That Think

NOVEMBER 1, 2023

The best-known wearable energy-harvesting tech today is, of course, solar, which pulls down electrons from sunlight or ambient light. But solar is just the opening gambit. A backpack with a giant solar panel might work technically, but not in reality. volts for about 60 hours. Leveraging watch tech for…bisons?

Volkswagen produces the hydrogen for the pressure tank station from renewable solar-generated electricity. The protons migrate through the membrane to the cathode, where they react with the oxygen present in air to form water vapor. Because the exhaust system only has to handle water vapor, it is made of weight-saving plastic.

At times, the VISION EQXX sliced through the wind at speeds of up to 140 km/h (87 mph). With its low cd value of 0.17, it gives the wind virtually nothing to grab hold of. It starts with the basic shape of the body, cradling the smooth-surfaced dome of the greenhouse as it flows like a water droplet towards the rear.
