Batteries are complicated—more like living organisms than inert mechanical or electronic components. Battery complexity can make or break your business. Leaders like Apple and Tesla invested heavily in expertise and infrastructure around batteries, and have created trillions in value. To compete in today’s electrifying economy, you need Enterprise Battery Intelligence. We’ll present a maturity model to illustrate how you stack up against market leaders, and provide a roadmap to catch up.

Many believe solid-state batteries are the future of electric mobility, but they have yet to be commercialized for passenger electric vehicles. In this presentation, Solid Power’s Chief Operations Officer, Dr. Derek Johnson, will update the audience on Solid Power’s progress toward producing “A-Sample” EV cells and discuss the company’s upcoming journey through automotive qualification testing in order to commercialize its cells within the 2026 timeframe.

Sila VP Kurt Kelty will introduce an innovative drop-in-replacement nanocomposite, silicon-based anode powder - the first next-gen battery chemistry in the market - that enables product innovation without performance compromise.

Enevate uses modeling including machine learning to predict silicon anode-based cell behavior including assessing more accurate SOC and SOH. Enevate leverages different types of models and has demonstrated substantial performance improvement over linear models, highlighting the complex nonlinear relationships between input features and cell performance.

Many upcoming driver assistance and autonomy features require Functional Safety assessment of the 12V power supply system. The talk will show illustrative examples of upgraded power-supply systems, discuss battery requirements and how they can be verified. Sensitive system parameters that determine component sizing will be discussed. For the established 12V lead battery system, which consists of commodity parts, harmonization approaches will be highlighted for stack reliability, service concepts and diagnostics.

EU CO₂ emission reduction targets are the main motivation for introduction of mHEV with 48V batteries in Europe. Depending on the 48V mHEV hybrid architecture P0 to P4, different functions like cold crank, pure electric driving, or all-wheel driving in addition to regenerative braking and boosting need to be enabled by the 48V battery. The paper will describe the different requirements, potential applications, and validation as well as an outlook for upcoming trends.

The proliferation of x-EV power trains and advanced driver-assist functionalities drives new requirements for 12V Auxiliary batteries. Clarios has introduced in 2020 the series production of 12V Li-Ion batteries for auxiliary applications and is presently working on the next generation to meet upcoming requirements. As part of the product portfolio to serve vehicles with autonomous drive functionality, Clarios has announced the new smart-AGM technology which will combine the features of a proven Pb-battery technology with onboard electronics to communicate vital information to the vehicle’s powertrain.

More than 35 million new xEVs in 2030 can be expected based on P3´s model predictions. Besides the xEV market overview, the presentation will give a deeper look into actual technology trends including cell-to-pack/vehicle, component innovations, and next-generation materials, safety requirements, and solutions with focus on thermal propagation, sustainable production, and recycling as well as an outlook on solid-state cell technologies – options and maturity, production aspects, and development timeline.

The global automobile industry has established a long-term trend toward electrification technology, attracting industry chain manufacturers to rush to invest. The Asian battery manufacturers plan to respond a series of challenges like to balance of supply and demand on cellmaking and materials side, ensure the source of mineral and all materials and technical competition between Japanese, Korean and Chinese manufacturers. This presentation will provide an overview of the above cellmakers’ planning, especially cover both the technical comparison, market and product segmentation to show the future development in Asian xEV LIB Manufacturers.

The solid, robust structure of the SMD fuses assures reliable operation in environments where temperature cycling and high mechanical vibration are present. The patented compact design in construction and arc suppression materials make achieving one of the best safe power density in high power applications. The devices singular fuse link/terminal construction eliminates problems that occur with conventional ceramic tube fuses. One single CMF 2822 case size covers the current ratings 20A-125A.

Today less than 2% of the automotive market is Electric Vehicle. With this very small market share, xEV already consume nearly 70% of the total Li-ion battery production, more than 40% of the cobalt production and more than 50% of the lithium production. With conservative xEV forecasts nearly 10 million EV sold per year in 2026, the impact on the lithium-ion battery market and supply chain will be huge.

The EV Sales Review of 2021 and 2022, Expectations Going Forward and Implications on Battery Demand presentation will share the latest insights from collecting the facts in the EV industry.

You will understand the best sellers, which countries and regions are doing to most for EV adoption, and what to expect in the future, both short term, and long term. These forecasts will also be translated into the battery demand.

AVL’s series battery benchmarking program provides a database for objective comparison in technical attributes as well as in engineering methodology for BEV battery market competitors for clear system target definition of high performing, reliable and safe batteries. 270 different criteria are evaluated through AVL benchmarking metrics displayed in 8 high-level attributes. The found integrated system performance values are pointed out to support current and future development programs.

Development of a multi-product roadmap or portfolio of cell chemistry options for automotive applications is time-consuming and expensive. Cell models provide the first step to guide material selection and electrode design parameters necessary to achieve energy density targets. However, even within that framework, there are too many choices of active materials and material combinations to ensure selection of the lowest cost highest performing bill of materials. Furthermore, understanding the trade-offs with cell design and material selection opens up the parameter space even further. This presentation will highlight systematic sequential experimental sets to define cell chemistries for product development series that have increasing cell energy density.

Mobility is on the cusp of radical change, which presents unique challenges and opportunities for fleet owners and utilities. Having a large number of EVs on the road offers an unprecedented opportunity to harness the energy stored in the vehicles’ batteries. Among different technologies, the mass adoption of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology can offer a tantalizing opportunity to reduce fuel import dependence, decrease air and noise pollution, decarbonize transport, and promote the adoption of new approaches to urban mobility.
