BMW launched a concept car that is quite unique and sophisticated. Imagine, the body of this car can change color automatically and can adjust the feelings of the car owner’s heart.
Reporting from Carscoops, BMW launched the iX concept electric car at the 2022 Consumer Electronic Show (CES) technology exhibition which was held in Las Vegas, United States. At first glance, the design of this BMW EV car is nothing special
BMW carries the name of the concept car, namely the iX Flow E Ink, where the color of the car body can change automatically. The company claims this is the first and latest technology in the automotive industry.
Later, the color of the car can change from white to gray to black. The color that can change only needs to be pressed with one button and the color of the car body changes in an instant.
This changeable color uses electrophoresis technology. When activated, different colors will appear to the surface through an electrical signal, so that the color of the car body immediately changes. BMW claims that changing the color of the car body will not drain a lot of battery power so it is guaranteed to be safe.
