Battery startup Our Next Energy is integrating its range-extending Gemini battery onto a prototype of the BMW iX full-electric SUV.
The two companies have signed an agreement to integrate ONE's long-range battery technology, which reduces the use of scarce and expensive materials like lithium, nickel and cobalt, into an iX.
They expect to complete the prototype vehicle by the end of the year and demonstrate its ability to achieve 600 miles (965 km) of range between charges.
