Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
German carmaker BMW will invest about 200 million euros over the next four years in a “battery cell centre of excellence” aimed at “grasping the technological aspects of battery cell production,” Henning Peitsmeier writes in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “Battery cell research is an integral part of our development,” BMW research head Klaus Fröhlich told the newspaper.

However, the carmaker says it could still enter into mass production by 2021.
