BMW looks to carbon fiber for its 2013 electric car


Right now, only the most costly vehicles have carbon fiber components, like hoods or roofs, to diminish weight. But BMW ways the pricey magic material will make up the complete passenger cell in its electrically-powered Megacity vehicle, due in 2013.

BMW says it will open a new chapter in automotive lightweight design by allowing the vehicle to offset approximately all of the extra 600 or more pounds that comes from weighty batteries and other electrical components.

BMW thinks it can find easier ways to make use of carbon fiber, which we think could point to lesser costs. The goal is to make the production simpler and more supple, reducing costs and force.
