Advanced Automotive Battery Conferences

Session 4:
Battery Technology for EVs and PHEVs

Lithium Ion is the predominant battery technology to power the emerging plug-in hybrids and all electric vehicles. However, cell chemistry, cell design, and pack design vary significantly from one developer to another. In this session, battery developers will present design and performance data from their EV and PHEV offerings and discuss the chosen designs.

Dr. Lamp has been working at BMW AG Since 2001 and is currently responsible for cell development for electrical storage systems, in particular Li-Ion technology. He holds a PhD in physics and has 20 years of experience in research institutes as well as in the industry in basic and applied research, with focus on energy conversion and storage.
