\u201cFor decades, Plant Spartanburg has been a cornerstone of the global success of the BMW Group. The home of the BMW X models that are so popular all over the world. Going forward, it will also be a major driver for our electrification strategy, and we will produce at least six fully electric BMW X models here by 2030. That means: The \u2018Home of the X\u2019 is also becoming the \u2018Home of the Battery Electric Vehicle\u2019,\u201d said Zipse. \u201cIn addition, we can showcase BMW Group\u2019s \u2018local for local\u2019 principle: Our newly developed sixth generation battery cells, which were specifically designed for the next generation electric vehicles, will be sourced here in South Carolina \u2013 where X goes electric.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
