Traction batteries have recently come under considerable regulatory interest, with significant governance coming into place over the next few years. Areas of particular interest are the assurance of predictable usable battery energy over life and reporting the related states of health in a standardized way with specific accuracy requirements. This talk discusses the kinds of battery and operation data being requested by many of the emerging regulations and the specific challenges in incorporating these reporting features at battery system level and vehicle level.

Commercial BEV applications present a unique set of usage demands on a high-voltage traction battery compared to retail/passenger BEV applications. A family of different BEVs and BEV batteries will be needed to support growing networks of different and emerging commercial applications that are expected to materialize throughout this decade. This presentation will highlight a number of key technical needs for present and near-term future commercial BEV battery systems.

General Motors believes in an all-electric future and plans to launch 30 new EVs by 2025, leveraging the innovative Ultium Platform, GM’s next-generation BEV architecture. Mr. Oury will discuss the advantages of a flexible, modular platform, describe how it enables customer choice within and across vehicle models, and propose a method for energy density benchmarking across disparate battery designs.

Developing vehicle duty cycles into battery power profiles. Adapting fuel cell power requirements to the market's cell capability.

Volvo Energy is Volvo Group’s newest business area committed to driving and propelling a fundamental breakthrough of electrification, from the development of charging and infrastructure solutions to the remanufacturing, refurbishing, repurposing, and recycling of state-of-the-art batteries that power our Volvo Group products. With the creation of Volvo Energy, we aim to connect the beginning with the end, going from a linear business model to a circular one.

The automotive industry has passed a tipping point when it comes to electrification, with many OEMs introducing increasingly optimistic forecasts for the future market share of electric vehicles. However, for EVs to continue their momentum, new powertrains must achieve a reasonable balance between driving range, power, charge rate, safety, and cost. This requires OEMs to remain active in optimization of automotive battery packs down to the cell and materials level. This presentation will describe BMW’s view of the role that different cell designs and chemistries can play in designing batteries for diverse EV applications. Specifically, the impact of cell design and charging protocol optimization on battery lifetime (calendar and cycle aging) will be discussed. High-energy, fast-charging conditions are both known to negatively impact cell degradation behavior, but novel cell and materials designs can combat these effects. Key challenges will be addressed with examples from BMW research projects.

In this session we will explain Nissan's all-solid-state battery research initiatives under Ambitios 2030, Nissan's long term vision announced in 2021. We will also introduce recent battery research initiatives at Nissan's global sites, particularly in North America.

This presentation will examine Polestar's approach to Electro-Thermal Modeling & Simulation.

Sion Power has developed large-format 6 and 17 Ah cells, modules, and battery packs using our proprietary metallic lithium anode battery technology for automotive and commercial truck applications. This presentation will focus on the technical approaches used allowing industry-leading energy in both Wh/kg and Wh/L, with special emphasis on cycle life advancements. Sion's independently verified performance and safety results will also be presented.

AVL’s series battery benchmarking program provides a database for objective comparison in technical attributes as well as in engineering methodology for BEV battery market competitors for clear system target definition of high performing, reliable and safe batteries. 270 different criteria are evaluated through AVL benchmarking metrics displayed in 8 high-level attributes. The found integrated system performance values are pointed out to support current and future development programs.

Saft’s historical experience in producing high-power cells has led to the growth of a successful business supplying cells for racing applications. This expertise has been translated into a product for a high-performance hybrid vehicle. We discuss how Saft’s R&D approach has made this possible.

Ionblox has overcome the poor cycling and high swelling associated with silicon anode-based lithium-ion cells. Ionblox has developed large format pouch cells using pre-lithiated silicon anode that exhibit high specific energy, fast charge, high power, and low cost. Our patented pre-lithiated silicon anode when paired with nickel-rich cathode enables lithium-ion cells to have specific energy from 330 to 400 Wh/Kg. Our lithium-ion pouch cells have cycled over 1500 DST cycles following USABC test protocols. Pouch cells exhibit 90% capacity recovery under the standard 15-minute charge test and have cycled 1000 times when cycled at fast charge conditions of 4C charge and 1C discharge. Cell performance has been validated by US national labs in the USABC program.
