CAR Fall, 2024 External Advisory Board Presentation

Strong push towards electrification in passenger and commercial vehicle sectors, with increasing interest in aviation. Electrochemical Energy Storage continues to be a significant challenge. Trends In Mobility And Transportation

Key R&D Challenges in Li-ion Cell Technology 1. Cost. Trending to $100/kWh (considers raw materials, materials processing and cell manufacturing). 2. Performance. High energy materials suffer from fast- charging and low– and high– temperatures. 3. Life. Electrode materials still suffer major cycle and calendar life issues. 4. Abuse Tolerance. Li-ion cells are not intrinsically tolerant to abuse conditions.
