The US Electric Vehicle Market – From Niche to the Mainstream
Sales of battery electrics are growing, with the number of entries seemingly growing too fast relative to projected sales volume. Costs are coming down (albeit not fast enough?), capability is increasing, infrastructure is being developed (albeit not fast enough?), and the target market is becoming more mainstream.
What needs to happen to facilitate the projected growth?
We will discuss key products, marketing approaches of the vehicle makers, what potential customers want (and fear), opportunities as battery and electronic technologies evolve, and the products most important to reach high volumes and facilitate company profits.
We will identify some of the potential winners and losers among the vehicle makers and suppliers, both within the current industry and beyond.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Review of Current Sales and Products, Forecasted to 2025
• Product Range Moving Across Segments to Target the Mainstream Buyer
• Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
• Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies and Consumer Preferences Matter More
• Trends in Batteries, Range, and CostPresenter

Advanced Test Methods for Isothermal and Adiabatic Battery Calorimetry
This presentation describes two main types of calorimetric techniques that can be used to carry out performance and safety testing on lithium-ion and other high-energy batteries.
The first half of the presentation introduces isothermal calorimetry; the various types of instruments, the method of operation and examples of data which can be obtained, including new developments from THT.
The second half of the presentation covers battery testing methods for the ARC® adiabatic calorimeter system. The theoretical background of the test method is described and recommended practices for various types of testing are discussed.
The presentation also mentions complementary test methods that can be integrated with calorimetry to provide even more useful analysis, and new developments in test equipment from THT.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Principles of isothermal and adiabatic calorimetry testing for high-energy batteries
• Advantages and limitations of these two methods
• Discussion of different test types and results
• Recommended testing practices, limitations, future developmentsPresenter

Passive Mitigation of Thermal Runaway Propagation in Dense 18650 Lithium Ion Cell Assemblies
Utilization of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in various applications has been growing exponentially. LIBs offer some distinct advantages including high energy density, outstanding efficiency, long lifespan, and fast charging capability. Probably, the main disadvantage of LIBs is that a small deviation from normal operating condition may result in rapid self-heating accompanied by ejection of large quantities of flammable materials, which can cause fire or explosion. The failure process becomes more dramatic when many cells are arranged in large arrays in order to fulfill the power requirements by most of applications. Failure of a single cell can release sufficient energy to trigger failure into adjacent cell, which subsequently propagates throughout the entire array. In this webinar, a set of passive strategies to mitigate failure propagation will be presented. The dynamics, heating rates, gaseous emissions, and energetics of thermally induced thermal runaway propagation in dense arrays consisting of 12-15 fully charged 18650 lithium ion cells have been quantified to determine the effectiveness of these passive mitigation strategies.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Thermal runaway in lithium ion batteries
• Thermal runaway propagation in lithium ion battery packs
• Hazards associated with failure propagation
• Passive mitigation strategiesPresenter

Going Electric – But How, When, and By Whom?
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 marketPresenter
