Sales of battery electrics are surging, but the market is unsettled. In the last year companies have piled on the price increases, while mostly failing to meet their own production goals. But companies throughout the industry are ramping up their spending, with public investment (and regulation) pouring in as well.
Is the focus on the high end or is the market moving mainstream? Yes.
We will discuss product successes and failures, and what it will take for the latter to become the former. We will evaluate the major players including their key products, marketing approaches, and whether they have and/or will hit the mark.
We will assess the outlook for industry participants as changes in production, manufacturing and design techniques, regulation, and battery technologies evolve.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current sales and products, forecasted to 2030
• The industry is throwing a party, albeit with different levels of commitment, sales, and production strategies
• Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and forthcoming EPA and California regulations
• Opportunities and risks due to the evolving battery and materials market

Maximizing Battery Performance and Reliability for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
As automakers and utilities transition away from non-renewable energy sources, batteries have become essential for efficient energy storage and delivery. Companies are working intensely to deliver higher capacity and more robust batteries to power their products, but ad hoc development processes cannot keep pace with the volume of battery data being generated. In addition, understaffed battery development teams are unable to leverage their data to accelerate development or improve production and manufacturing.
In this webinar, we will outline the challenges that the battery industry is facing and how big data analytics can virtually eliminate manual data management and provide powerful capabilities that deliver rapid insights into a battery’s design that dramatically accelerate the development process and results in products with greater performance and reliability.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Recognizing the challenges and bottlenecks in battery development today
• Automating the battery data collection, data cleaning, and data management process
• Identifying design issues earlier with predictive analytics
• Leveraging metadata to understand the impact of materials, processes and test conditionsPresenter

Avoid Battery Explosions and Fires – With Right Data and Better Designs
Modern Li Ion batteries contain hazardous chemicals and heat up during use – this combination always has the potential to cause fires and explosions. This presentation will focus on improving the understanding of how such incidents occur, what can be done to avoid them and how the risk can be minimized during early stage design.
The solution lies in knowledge of the heat generation rate during normal use, and information about safe boundaries such as temperature, discharge rate & overcharge in realistic situations that represent actual conditions of use. Data from commercial batteries of different types, including videos of batteries undergoing thermal runaway, will be used to illustrate these points.
A relatively new technique will also be discussed with data, which allows total heat output during discharge to be measured on-line and this can be used both for design and battery modelling. Examples of the data will be provided.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why battery fires and explosions occur
• How to design safer batteries through understanding of heat generation
• Video evidence of batteries under explosive conditions
• How better thermal management systems can be designed – based on heat measurement from isothermal calorimetry
• Laboratory instruments suitable for testing and data generationPresenter
Dr. Jasbir Singh – Managing Director at Hazard Evaluation LaboratoryJasbir is a chemical engineer specializing in thermal hazards and calorimetry, traditionally for the chemical industry but now increasingly involved in battery safety, especially Li-ion EV and related types.
A graduate of Imperial College (London), where he undertook PhD into combustion and explosions, his experience includes many years in process design for the chemical and petrochemical industries. He is currently developing test methods and instruments for use in design of battery thermal management systems.

A Raft of EVs and Hybrids are Coming – Will the Buyers Follow?
Current sales trends for hybrid and electric vehicles will be detailed as will the effect of public policy on these vehicles. California is moving forward even as the US EPA and NHTSA pull back, with states aligning with California that represent 40% of total US sales.
There is a plethora of new products coming from a variety of automakers, with certain automakers taking their own unique approaches, which will of course differentially affect suppliers and consumers. While China may be “ground zero” for product introductions and sales, the US will see a significant number of new products, particularly if we include vehicles that are “electrified” (as opposed to fully electric vehicles).
Changes in technology affecting the cost and therefore the price to consumers will be discussed.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current Sales Trends Regarding EVs and Hybrids
• Current Status of the EPA/NHTSA Midterm Review
• Current Status of CA Regulatory Intentions Regarding Fuel Economy and Zero Emission Vehicles
• Automaker EV Plans Through 2025
• Other Factors Affecting EV and Hybrid Sales in this PeriodPresenter
