The battle for the battery of the future continues to gain in intensity, with lithium-ion remaining the technology of choice as the latest developments could ensure it remains the default for years to come. On the other hand, new materials, whether for anodes or cathodes, are heading toward improvements on the atomic level. Would you like to further explore this topic?

Automotive IQ has prepared an overview of the latest LI-ion developments, which aim to be the winning element when it comes to the long-term battle supremacy on battery technology for a whole range of products. Download here for free

Together with environmental concerns, the introduction of Li-ion chemistries in automotive batteries has driven the beginning of a vehicle electrification wave over the past 10 years. During the coming decade, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will have to become commonplace and start yielding profit for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

To achieve this, battery and vehicle manufacturers will have to further mitigate the current gaps compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) driven cars. These include cost, range, charging speed, reliability and safety.

Earlier this year Automotive IQ hosted the Global EV Battery Technology & Management Systems webinar, which featured a presentation from Marco Karch, Lead Battery Technology at E-Force One AG. 

Learn what Marco to say on:

• The general challenges and differences of small vehicles vs heavy duty commercial vehicles
• The solutions and approaches on pure BEV or H2 PHEV
• The impact on battery technology from an engineering perspective
• The long-term roadmap
