Battery Platform Development for Electric Vehicles
Industry Outlook on Battery Platform Development for Electric Vehicles
This talk explores the industry outlook on battery platform development for electric vehicles (EVs). It begins by reviewing key aspects of battery platforms, including cell chemistry, material selection, cell form factor design, and battery pack integration strategies. Industry trends over the next five to seven years are analyzed, focusing on advancements and applications in these areas.
Three major battery pack integration approaches—cell-to-module, cell-to-pack, and advanced configurations like cell-to-chassis and cell-to-body designs—are discussed. The potential shift toward cell-to-pack integration as the mainstream approach is examined, highlighting its advantages over traditional cell-to-module designs. Additionally, the benefits of different cell form factors—prismatic, pouch, and cylindrical cells—are reviewed in terms of performance, cost, and safety.
By understanding these trade-offs, manufacturers can determine the most suitable battery platform for various EV applications, from standard entry models to high-performance and luxury vehicles. This comprehensive presentation provides insights into the technological and economic factors shaping the future of EV battery development.
