9:05 China Market: Safety of Battery Cells and Systems - from the Carmaker's Point of View
Heinz-Willi Vassen, Director, C/EE Development Electric/Electronics, Audi (China) Enterprise Management Co., Ltd.
China is still the main driver in the field of NEV. The new energy vehicle market in China is increasing again, even under the impact of reduced Subsidies. Chinese Cell Manufacturer are already well established and will soon deliver also to international
automakers for overseas business. Higher Battery Energy Density is still one of the hot topics for China market. With fast changes in electrode materials and – as a consequence - challenges for safety. Now LFP seems to come back alternative
to NCM. The presentation will focus on the latest development and on regulations / requirements for China NEV market. It will present technical concepts and future trends. Taking safety as top priority.
9:30 Batteries for the Chinese xEV Market
Mike O’Kronley, Executive Director - Corporate Strategy, A123 Systems
Recent changes in China’s NEV policy have influenced consumers buying decisions on xEVs and the batteries that power them. This presentation will focus on recent policy changes in China and the resulting impact they have had on xEV batteries.

11:00 EVs That Even Climate Change Deniers Will Agree Are More Convenient than Gas Cars
Jarvis Tou, Executive Vice President, Marketing & Products, Enevate Corporation
Unlike powder-based graphite anodes or silicon technologies which involve adding silicon-containing additives to graphite-dominant anodes, Enevate’s silicon-dominant technology offers many unique benefits for Electric Vehicles (EVs) including
high energy density, greater than 4C extreme fast charge, wide temperature operation, and safety. Data showing the benefits and the applicability to acceleration of electrification of the fleet will be shown.

14:05 Lithium-Ion Battery Material Strategy and Proposal for a Healthy Growth
Sachiya Inagaki, General Manager & Seoul Branch Office Manager, Yano Research Institute Ltd
Demand of LiB cell and its material is increasing a lot recently, thanks to expansion of xEV market. However, this demand is based on government policy and subsidies and it is difficult to say that generally, people do not want to have an EV because
EVs have less merits to buy in comparison to existing ICEs. Then, there should be a variety of vehicles which utilize characteristics of EV and its material also should be diversified. We will propose such kind of material strategy based on
our forecast of the EV market.
14:30 Multi-Battery Systems – Defining the Role of Low-Voltage Energy Storage across the Electrification Spectrum
Craig Rigby, Vice President Technology, Power Solutions, Clarios (formerly Johnson Controls)
As automotive electrification strategies continue to evolve, multi-battery systems that include a lithium-ion battery paired with a 12-volt battery are becoming commonplace. While much of the attention is focused on 48-volt or high-voltage lithium-ion
batteries, the role of the 12-volt battery in this system continues to be critical to vehicle operation. From basic vehicle functions to safety-critical power needs, this presentation will discuss the evolving requirements for 12-volt batteries
in multi-battery systems and provide perspective on a portfolio of solutions.

16:40 Thermal and Stress Analysis of a Battery Pack for a Lightweight Sports Car
Takuya Saeki, Application Engineer, Battery Applications, Siemens PLM Software
Physically developing and performing trials on new battery compositions and cooling strategies is an expensive and resource-intensive process that only large, funded organizations and laboratories have the facilities to perform successfully. We
will address how simulation would assist in minimizing the research, analysis, and experiments to analyze the behavior of battery systems where there is need for strongly coupled resolution of flow, heat transfer, electrochemistry, and stress
due to expansion and contraction during operation to provide the best possible prediction.
