Over 500 extra jobs will be created by the end of 2025 when the site in Hungary will become operational. The assembly of high-voltage batteries will take place on the site of the vehicle plant to make it easier in terms of logistics by cutting distances as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than making the prismatic cells used for current electric vehicles, the upcoming Debrecen facility will assemble the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/05\/11\/bmw-neue-klasse-lower-battery-costs\/\">round cells<\/a> tailored to Neue Klasse models. As previously announced, these will increase the charging speed by 30% as well as the vehicle\u2019s range by the same percentage. NE-based cars will have support for 800V tech, enabling an owner to restore the battery from 10% to 80% about 30% quicker compared to existing EVs.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-440368\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-830x554.jpg\" alt=\"BMW Plant Debrecen 1 830x554\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-1535x1024.jpg 1535w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1.jpg 1820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW Plant Debrecen 1 830x554\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-440368\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20554%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-830x554.jpg\" alt=\"BMW Plant Debrecen 1 830x554\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-1535x1024.jpg 1535w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/BMW-Plant-Debrecen-1.jpg 1820w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW Plant Debrecen 1 830x554\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Round cells will have an energy density increased by more than 20% compared to the fifth-generation prismatic cells in use today. BMW estimates costs related to battery production will go down by as much as 50% while CO2 emissions generated during the manufacturing process will be reduced by up to 60%. These next-gen battery cells will have a standard diameter of 46 millimeters and two different heights \u2013 one for cars and the other for SUVs.<\/p>\n<p>BMW has previously said the Neue Klasse platform will debut with a sedan and an SUV in the midsize segment, likely meaning a global i3 (the current model is China-only) and a next-generation iX3.
