BMW 530e plug-in hybrid battery modules can be individually replaced, RM 5k per cell 01

One of the concerns of owning a hybrid vehicle or a fully electric vehicle is the cost of battery replacement. BMW’s solution is to have the high-voltage battery pack with individual modules that can be replaced.

In the BMW 530e, there are 6 cell modules. If only one of the modules is needed to be replaced, owners can simply change that one cell module at a cost of RM 5,000 per cell, rather than replacing the entire battery pack.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

BMW Group Malaysia offers a 6-year/100,000 km warranty for the high-voltage batteries. Should a replacement be required within that period, it will be covered by the warranty.

BMW is also working towards sustainability by accounting for the end of the high-voltage battery’s life cycle. Batteries that are no longer suitable for use in a vehicle can be used in energy storage facilities.

The batteries can be combined to form a storage unit that is used as a buffer or backup storage for power from local energy sources such as solar and wind installations.

The current BMW Group lineup in Malaysia with a high-voltage battery includes the plug-in hybrid variants of the BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, the full electric BMW i3s as well as the MINI Countryman plug-in hybrid.

The quest for automotive knowledge began as soon as the earliest memories. Various sources information, even questionable ones, have been explored including video games, television, magazines, or even internet forums. Still stuck in that rabbit hole.
