Designing Tomorrow’s Li-ion Battery

Together with environmental concerns, the introduction of Li-ion chemistries in automotive batteries has driven the beginning of a vehicle electrification wave over the past 10 years. During the coming decade, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will have to become commonplace and start yielding profit for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

To achieve this, battery and vehicle manufacturers will have to further mitigate the current gaps compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) driven cars. These include cost, range, charging speed, reliability and safety.
