BMW opens Bavarian battery plant 30 months after groundbreaking
Original: BMW opens its Bavarian battery plant 30 months after breaking ground
BMW has opened its battery assembly plant in Bavaria, completing the facility 30 months after construction began. The plant is part of the German automaker's push to scale up in-house battery production for its electrified vehicle line-up. The fast build timeline is drawing attention as a sign of how quickly legacy carmakers are moving to secure battery capacity in Europe.
Why now: BMW has just inaugurated the facility, and the unusually short 30-month construction period highlights the industry's rush into battery manufacturing.
