There is a lot of buzz around Solid-State battery technology, even though they are still in an early phase and still very theoretical. The technology promises a lot from an energy density improvement, thermal efficiency, and stability point of view. LFP batteries are getting more popular, with a lot of players adopting an LFP strategy. Tesla is extending their battery business with LFP alongside NCA. As with anything, LFP batteries have both drawbacks and advantages. LFP might be more cost-effective, but they are less energy dense and come with a whole new range of thermal issues.

•       What does the solid-state and LFP battery landscape look like, and what stage are they at?

•       What is the expected cost impact on battery cells?

•       Examining the thermal management aspect of solid state batteries and LFP batteries

•       Quantifying improvement in energy density, increase in thermal efficiency and thermal stability of the cells

1:00PM Question & Answer Session

•       What can be done in the interiors to create more constant comfort

•       How does the refrigeration circuit handle both cabin cooling ad battery cooling

•       Control of the AC components to control the battery cooling requirement as well as the cabin cooling requirement.

2:40PM Question & Answer Session

•       Understand the impact of wind flow and solar load on how much and how quickly the battery pack heats up

•       How to effectively place the battery for efficient thermal management in extreme hot or cold temperatures

•       Sharing different battery cooling strategies for different temperatures

 3:20PM Question & Answer Session

•       Latest trends in cold plate

•       How to use cold plate to cool down the batteries

•       Sharing case studies on how efficient and accurate cooling of an electric vehicle battery cold plate is ensured optimum performance, battery reliability, and lifecycle return on investment

4:30PM Question & Answer Session

• Heavy-duty on- and off-highway vehicles face unique thermal management challenges, which can be very different from the thermal challenges in other transportation sectors. This session focuses on managing/overcoming thermal management for these vehicles.
