They’re very valid improvements and promise huge leaps forward in range, cost, and efficiency. James MorrisĪlthough many of BMW’s announcements at its Sustainability Through Innovation Day appear to echo things Elon Musk announced at Tesla’s Battery Day 2020, that’s no bad thing. This should enable 80% recharges in under 20 minutes with a 350kW supply.īMW's i Vision Circular concept showcases the company's focus on the use of secondary recycled. The faster charging will be facilitated by BMW switching to an 800V drive train, like Hyundai’s E-GMP.
Because battery cells are by nature rigid, you can use them as part of the chassis itself. This is also like Tesla’s “structural batteries”. This is how the 20% increase in volumetric energy density will be achieved – in a similar fashion to Tesla’s 4680 cells.īMW is also planning to integrate the batteries into the installation space, which the company is calling “pack to open body”. However, the nickel content will be increased while the cobalt content will be reduced in the cathodes, with more silicon content on the anodes. As already noted, BMW will stick with NMC chemistry rather than switch to the increasingly popular Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), although this will be an option with the Gen6 technology. The BMW cylindrical cells will have a 46mm diameter like Tesla’s much-vaunted 4680 as well, but be available in two heights of 95mm and 125mm, both of which are taller than Tesla’s 80mm cells.

With a win and an Austin FC loss at Seattle, LAFC would clinch the top seed in the Western Conference and qualify for the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League. These types of additions were rare during Hollingshead’s tenure in Dallas, which relied on fostering homegrown talent like leading goal scorer Jesus Ferreira (16), though “they spent some money and brought in some big pieces and you can tell it’s helping,” the defender said. This week, the club welcomed its final piece to the roster, 31-year-old Spanish forward Cristian Tello, who will make the road trip. LAFC’s ongoing efforts at its training ground has been limited in duration throughout the heatwave blanketing California, but its intensity remains high, which is crucial with a handful of matches to go before the postseason. I am a firm believer in hard work and not in superstitions.” “I can grow one but I will not grow one,” he said. That doesn’t mean Cherundolo, one shy of tying Bob Bradley for the most wins (20) by a first-year head coach in MLS history, will partake in Hollingshead’s mustache movement. This is what Ryan brings and we know this and this is why we obviously identified Ryan as a target in the offseason and are overjoyed to have him in an LAFC jersey.” He has a knack for being at the right spot at the right time. Left, right, doesn’t matter, he knows where to be. “Ryan has figured this league out,” Cherundolo said. Prior to LAFC’s first meeting of the year against Dallas, a 3-1 win on June 29 at the Banc, Hollingshead lauded Coach Steve Cherundolo as someone who “knows outside back better than anybody in the world” and that talking about the position with him helped make the experience with his new club “special.” Hollingshead, a UCLA product acquired in a deal that sent Marco Farfan to Dallas, has been a multifaceted and consistent performer since arriving in January, appearing in 26 of the club’s 29 regular-season matches. Third in the Western Conference under the new head coach Nico Estevez, Dallas (12-8-10, 46 points) has lost once in its past six outings, taking a shutout at Minnesota last weekend while scoring three goals in less than four minutes. But the 31-year-old MLS veteran can quickly boost his superstitious case while LAFC (19-7-3, 60 points) hits the road for a rare multi-city trip to face his previous club over the past eight years, FC Dallas, and, days later, Minnesota United FC. There are other factors at play, notably that the defeats occurred away from home.
