  The Potential Impact of a New U.S. Administration on Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

  The impact of the election upon government policy & the automotive industry is complicated and unclear. Fuel economy regulations are in place through Model Year 2021. We will explore the potential impacts on Model Years 2022-25 & beyond including the Midterm Review & the California Zero Emission Vehicle regulations which become more stringent in 2018.

  The strategies of the global automakers will be discussed including Volkswagen (as it attempts to recover from its diesel scandal) & the Detroit Three automakers that are focusing their expansion on markets outside North America. The role of China will also be assessed.

  Technology improvements and their implication upon cost will also be discussed, as will the full impact of electrification (including 48 volt technology) on the vehicle fleet.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Potential Legislative & Regulatory Changes Affecting Manufacturers and Consumers
  • Potential Responses by Industry & the New Administration to EPA Regulation for Model Years 2022-2025
  • Potential Responses from NHTSA Which May Still Rule on 2022-2025 Period
  • Reaction From California & the Impact of Its Zero Emission Vehicle Policies
  • Impact of Automaker Strategies Which are Global
  • Impact of Business & Technological Trends

  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 conditions

  Battery Selection Tutorial Course 1/3: Selecting your Cell and Cell Manufacturer(s)

  After designing your product, you need to ensure the battery with which you are operating it will ensure the right performance and lifetime. When deciding this, narrowing down which chemistry (e.g. Li-ion, lithium primary, NiMH, etc.) best fits your product and which form factor are some of the first steps. Choosing a cell design (high-power vs. high-energy, for example) is another step and finally, finding the right cell manufacturer to fabricate your cells and packs. This webinar is the first in a three-part series on designing the right battery for your product. It will cover many of the key differences in chemistries, form factors, and cell designs and other best practices.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Choosing the right chemistry for your application
  • Choosing the right form factor
  • Choosing cell designs (e.g. high power vs. high-energy)

  Solid Electrolytes and Bulk Scale Solid-State Batteries

  Recently, the push to move beyond Li – ion battery technology has grown. Several advanced battery technologies & chemistries have been identified as promising candidates including i) solid-state batteries with Li metal anode, ii) Li – S chemistries, iii) Li – air(oxygen), and iv) flow batteries. Although an engineered solution using liquids may be possible for some of these options, a solid electrolyte is an enabling technology for each of these beyond Li – ion alternatives. This webinar will introduce the operating principles of each of these cell technologies and solid electrolytes will be discussed in this context. The requirements of a solid electrolyte will be outlined & several state of the art solid electrolytes will be compared. Recent technical progress towards the fabrication of solid-state batteries will be reviewed. Finally, an overview of market applications for solid-state will be presented.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Overview of beyond Li – ion battery technologies enabled by solid electrolytes
  • Comparison of state of the art solid electrolytes
  • Recent technical progress towards solid-state batteries
  • Review of market applications for solid-state batteries
