Experts Discuss Current and Future Innovations in EV Battery Development at Final Conference Session

The final session of the conference, focusing on electric vehicle (EV) battery development, has commenced. Christopher Hecht is the host for this session and represents both Mobility House and RWTH Aachen University while also being a member of the Battery E Network. The discussion aims to cover various aspects of EV batteries: their current capabilities and limitations, potential improvements to existing technology, and future advancements in battery cell generations. Christopher introduces four guest speakers who will each elaborate on these topics during the session. The first speaker is Andreas Richter from DEKRA, an R&D manager whose expertise lies in assessing the state of batteries currently deployed in the field. This introductory overview sets up a comprehensive exploration into both present-day solutions and forward-looking innovations in EV battery technology.

Batteries are at the heart of any electric vehicle. Their design determines the vehicle's range, charging speed, performance in cold weather, fire safety and many other properties. The speed of development has been immense, as new cell chemistries such as LFP, sodium-ion and solid state batteries are pushing into the market. Significant progress has been made with monitoring battery usage with a view to design optimization so that the battery performance is maximized without accelerating the ageing process. In this session, we share insights on the performance of today's vehicle batteries and future technological developments.
