Recently, people from BMW AG's Korean subsidiary are planning to meet suppliers for assembly, solid electrolytes and other equipment and materials, including CIS, Hana Technology and EcoPro BM. BMW plans to build a pilot production line in Germany, most likely at its battery-manufacturing competence center in Passdorf. BMW has already spent 170 million euros on the center.
BMW may also partner with Samsung SDI. Samsung and BMW have been working together on batteries for more than 10 years. Samsung SDI is also currently running a solid-state battery test line called the S Line.
