The partnership with Rimac Technology is expected to play a crucial role in achieving this objective.
This collaboration will also lead to the development of the sixth generation of BMW eDrive technology, promising significant advancements in range and charging times. This further underscores BMW’s commitment to sustainable mobility and solidifies their position in the electric vehicle market.
