As the demand for electric vehicles experiences ongoing growth, the automotive sector is pushing the limits of battery technology to augment the effectiveness, range, and energy capacity of EV batteries. Automotive IQ has engaged in recent conversations with industry professionals who have directed their attention toward the pursuit of the most current and advanced cell chemistry, poised to usher in the next advancement in energy capacity.

Currently, the significance of battery safety is of utmost importance. Among the notable safety considerations linked with contemporary automotive battery technology is the potential for thermal runaway—an infrequent yet potentially perilous occurrence. To address this concern and elevate battery safety while maintaining energy capacity, Peter Bugryniec, a Research Associate at The University of Sheffield, contributes valuable perspectives. This piece showcases Peter's insights, outlining the hazards of thermal runaway and proposing methods for its enhancement at the cell level, alongside strategies for battery improvement.

Automotive IQ also had a snapshot of the industry from Mustafa Yusein at Rimac Technology. Overall, this download includes:
