In doing so, ONE is creating more sustainable energy storage technology that can significantly reduce environmental impact.įor the occasion, ONE released this teaser video that does reveal that its battery pack uses a “dual battery chemistry” with one part of the pack for power delivery (LiFePoc) and the other one for energy storage (LiMnO): ONE’s unique long-range Gemini technology reduces lithium use by 20% while reducing graphite use by 60% and minimizing the use of nickel and cobalt. Our Next Energy (ONE), the Michigan-based energy storage company, has signed an agreement with BMW Group to incorporate ONE’s Gemini™ Dual-Chemistry battery technology into the BMW iX all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle. The company announced a test program with BMW, an investor in ONE, that will see its battery being installed in a BMW iX electric SUV: Now ONE is back integrating its Gemini battery in an existing electric vehicle, and there are still not many details about the chemistry, but at least it’s in direct partnership with the automaker in question. The project was not in partnership with Tesla and clearly meant to create hype. We previously reported on ONE when it did something similar with a Tesla Model S – replacing its battery pack and claiming to achieve 752 miles of range with it.Īt the time, we were cautiously skeptical since ONE didn’t release any detail about the chemistry of its Gemini battery claiming to have a much higher energy density.

BMW is going to be testing an iX electric SUV with 600 miles (965 km) of range enabled by a new battery chemistry from Our Next Energy (ONE).
