Cold-weather testing is supremely important for EVs. Not only does it ensure the vehicle can handle all manner of weather, but the automaker also needs to make sure that the battery can withstand low temperatures without losing all its range. It's also using this time to fine-tune the steering and brakes. Winter testing doesn't just happen on snow -- BMW also tests vehicles on gravel, asphalt and ice.

BMW says that the iNext will enter production in 2021 at its facility in Dingolfing. This site is BMW's largest production site in Europe, producing hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year. A workforce of about 18,000 people work to build the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Series, in addition to some Rolls-Royce bodies and BMW EV components. Thankfully, there's room for at least one more model in there.
