			<description>&lt;p&gt;understand how to drive down costs to the lowest possible level throughout supply, manufacturing and delivery whilst developing battery capabilities for increased vehicle performance in every day usage.&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;Because of this EV Battery Tech USA: 4th Global Cost Reduction Initiative is again, bringing together strategic and technicalexpert s from the leading vehicle OEMs across the globe to discuss how costs can be decreased further whilst increasing the performance of the battery.&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;The leading vehicle OEMs will be focusing on:&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BATTERY SYSTEM COST REDUCTION&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Understanding how lessons learnt from batteries in current generation EVs can be applied to driving down the cost of the battery in the short term&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ENERGY DENSITY OPTIMIZATION:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Determining how near-term advances in improving energy density could help drive EV battery cost reduction&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COST-EFFECTIVELY IMPROVING BATTERY LIFE&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Examining current generation advances in cost-effectively improving EV battery life &amp;amp; solutions for preventing cell degradation &amp;amp; failure&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COST-EFFECTIVELY IMPROVING BATTERY SAFETY&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Evaluating advances in cost-effectively improving battery safety &amp;amp; applying new battery safety methodologies&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRANSLATING MATERIAL ADVANCES INTO SHORT-TERM COST REDUCTION&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Providing an update on how the latest material advances in the cathode, anode &amp;amp; electrolyte are driving cost reduction at the level of the battery system&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COST-EFFECTIVELY IMPROVING THERMAL MANAGEMENT&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Analyzing cost-effective advances in improving thermal management &amp;amp; cooling systems to deliver optimal battery performance&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STANDARDIZATION&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Examining standardization opportunities for short, medium &amp;amp; long-term developments to deliver industry wide benefits &amp;amp; economies of scale&lt;/p&gt;
			&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OPTIMIZING THE BATTERY FOR FAST CHARGING&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Examining what needs to be done to optimize battery systems&lt;/p&gt;</description>
