OVER 25 SENIOR INDUSTRY SPEAKERS INCLUDING
EV BATTERY TECH USA: 4th GLOBAL COST REDUCTION INITIATIVE
Translating Technical Solutions Into Commercial Opportunities For Reducing The Cost Of Electric Vehicle & Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Batteries
After the resounding success of EV Battery Tech USA, 2010 & EV Battery Tech London, 2011, the World’s leading EV Battery series is returning to Troy, Michigan on September 27-28, 2011. As vehicle OEMs from across the globe aim to increase consumer satisfaction through battery capability & performance, cost is still a fundamental issue for all vehicle OEMs.
Now in its 4th edition, EV Battery Tech USA: Global Cost Reduction Initiative is again bringing together the key Vehicle OEMs associated with EV production to develop a community of industry experts to further drive down the cost of EV batteries and improve energy density, battery life and safety.
The mission of EV Battery Tech USA: 4th Global Cost Reduction Initiative is to understand how lessons learnt from current generation batteries can drive down the cost of the battery in the short-term and to introduce real-life examples of battery performance to examine energy density, battery life, battery testing, cell degradation and failure and battery safety improvement.
The initiative will also examine cost reduction solutions at the level of battery materials, manufacturing, thermal management and charging. EV Battery Tech is the only EV summit designed to address specific issues raised by an advisory panel of leading vehicle OEMs.
Speakers at the summit will be:
- Incorporating battery usage in the real world through post-launch case examples
- Analyzing technical solutions for improving energy density
- Evaluating cost-effective battery life extension and battery life testing practices
- Examining alternatives to battery safety testing methodologies
- Breaking down costs associated with development of the cathode and electrolytes
- Introducing recent developments on quality assurance and reliability throughout the manufacturing cycle
- Discussing improved battery performance through advances in thermal management
- Introducing how the battery can be optimized for level 3 charging
- Assessing recycling opportunities, raw materials cost reduction and transportation issues to harmonize the supply chain
