"The new tank has seven carbon-fibre reinforced chambers that are connected, making for a single unit. It can store at least 7 kilograms of hydrogen, up from the 6 kg that the current-gen iX5 Hydrogen can store in its bulky tanks."
"According to BMW, refueling takes less than five minutes, with a full tank delivering an estimated 385 miles (750 km) of range, up from the current model's 300 miles (482 km)."
"The seven individual cylinders are rated to 700 bar and sit in a metal enclosure that's the same size as the 800-volt Gen6 batteries that will power the upcoming iX5 all-electric SUV."
"Dubbed Gen 3, the fuel cell in the new iX5 Hydrogen is being co-developed with Toyota, with the first finished cars scheduled to roll off the assembly line."
