According to media reports, BMW Brilliance Automotive (BMW's joint venture with Brilliance) has selected Eve Energy (a subsidiary of Hubei Jinquan) as a battery supplier in China.
It is a quite interesting move, as BMW already has a deal with CATL, but unfortunately, there are no details.
By the way, Eve Energy has a battery joint venture in China with SK Innovation.
