It is critical to understand the supply chain for battery materials from the mine to market to ensure continued growth of EVs. In the past year, we have seen the importance of having a reliable local supply chain. BASF has unique insight into the battery materials market with cathode active materials production in all key regions. This presentation will cover the battery materials supply chain, sourcing, and forecasted consumption trends.

Today less than 5% of the automotive market is Electric Vehicle. With this very small market share, xEV already consume more than 70% of the total Li-ion battery production, more than 50% of the cobalt production and more than 65% of the lithium production. With conservative xEV forecasts (15 million EV sold per year in 2030), the impact on the lithium-ion battery market and supply chain will be huge.

To build a truly sustainable lithium-ion battery and EV industry, the entire supply chain needs to be decarbonised - from raw material extraction to manufacturing of batteries and EVs. However, there must also be industry-wide transparency about every stage of production. In this session, we will outline how Talga’s localised model of natural graphite anode production in Europe serves as a transparent, sustainable and economically viable strategy for the industry.

We derive and implement a new reduced order model (ROM1) based on a perturbation solution wherein the neglected higher-order terms that are uniformly discarded in the analysis are quantified.  ROM1 and the full model all utilize our MSMR (multi-site, multi-reaction) formulation, which has been shown to yield accurate representations of the thermodynamics of many different electrode materials.  ROM1 is particularly useful in the nonlinear regression of model parameters.

The 2022 introduction of an all-electric version of America's best-selling vehicle – the Ford F-150 truck – continues the advancement and evolution of electrified vehicle batteries at Ford. The F-150 Lightning battery system will have the greatest power and energy storage capability of any that Ford has ever produced. This presentation will highlight some of the key features of this advanced battery system.

The race for horsepower in ICE vehicles has raised the bar of what has been deemed minimum acceptable vehicle performance, and this has migrated itself into everyday mainstream ICE vehicles. The same can be said for BEVs. Technologies and architectures that enable high performance in electrified vehicles also invite benefits to the more conventional BEV. This talk explores the battery-centric features that are a consequence of and enable high-performance vehicles, and have a pathway to mainstream BEVs. Topics will include cell design, high voltage architectures, thermal management, and functional management.

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.

In the process of taking battery chemistry to a higher level of maturity, we are sometimes challenged to ask the right questions or define the problem well. As a result core issues might be overlooked and progress may be slowed. This talk attempts to refresh our perspective on selected advanced battery technologies.

Typical EV program structure overview and APQP process · Effective reporting and communication strategies · Procedure definition and development · Ensuring proper test set-up preparation and execution · EV relevant testing standards and customer-specific testing.

This presentation provides an overview of DOE vehicle battery R&D progress and the associated initiatives for accelerating commercialization. VTO’s battery R&D effort includes multiple activities, ranging from battery materials research to battery cell and pack development and testing. This presentation highlights the current battery R&D pathways supported by VTO and key technical results. A discussion of electric drive vehicle technology performance targets, gaps, and future research directions is also included.

Battery electric trucks are in their infancy but are expanding rapidly now. Truck fleets are very hesitant to adopt new technology as it could risk their on-time delivery promises and cost of ownership financial models. The industry is seeing a rush of new OEM's, business models, and innovative partnerships. The need for large numbers of large batteries could be a boon for the battery industry, or battery costs could push the industry to hydrogen fuel cells.

It's an exciting time to be involved in the electrification industry. Tackling the battery revolution, from design to manufacturing is not an easy task. Simply stacking batteries is not a model that can scale. There are form factors and design elements that are not fixed in time, presenting significant hurdles. A scalable, modular approach with the right partner is critical for success.

Lithium metal battery cells engineered and produced by Sion Power for EV and Aerospace applications have substantially higher energy density and specific energy than the current generation of Li-ion battery cells. EV and High Energy (HE) versions of Licerion pouch cells (capacity ranging from 6 to 21Ah) have been engineered to address specific applications. Recent improvements to product performance and external validation of key cell attributes will be presented.

The move toward global electromobility for automotive applications requires both sustainable and low-cost innovations. This challenging initiative requires the discovery and optimization of new cell materials that meet increased energy and power specifications, but also lower the cost of the overall battery. In this presentation, we will present how the use of high throughput screening methods was successfully used to develop new electrode recipes that improved EV key performance indicators.

In an era when battery technology is advancing at record pace it is important to be sure that battery manufacturing is capable of keeping up. In many cases the accuracy and precision of the coated electrode is what can make or break a new technology. We will address the advantages and disadvantages of a number of coating methods to give you the tools to evaluate which process best suits your technology.

Silicon can hold >10 times the number of Li-ion as the existing Graphite anode material and its use could lead to 20-40% higher energy density. The main obstacle for widespread Si use-300% in volume that damages the battery life. Our patented anode architecture combined with proprietary electrolyte design produce an expansion-controlled pure µm silicon-based Li-ion battery with a long-life span. This talk will provide Sionic battery product road map and status.
