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

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)Presenter

Certification Challenges for Secondary Use EV Batteries
As the 1st generation of Lithium-ion based hybrid and battery electric vehicles are reaching end-of life, or original traction batteries are being replaced with new batteries, the interest in secondary life or repurposing of these batteries continues to grow. Lithium-ion batteries present several challenges to Auto OEM’s, Recyclers and waste operators. Repurposing of EV batteries for non-automotive applications also creates new challenges for certification and acceptance by AHJ’s (Authorities Having Jurisdiction). This webinar discusses the current market challenges and concerns, while providing a roadmap of the current options for various usage cases of reused or repurposed EV batteries.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Understand the usage cases for secondary life batteries
• Review market drivers for secondary use batteries
• Review the concerns of battery and cell manufacturers with re-use of lithium-ion batteries
• Discuss the unique challenges to certifying used batteries for new applications
• Discuss current options for certification in the US marketPresenter

Understand and Prevent Battery Fires and Explosions – and Avoid Costly Failures Like the Samsung Note 7
Modern batteries (eg Li-Ion) contain hazardous chemicals & they heat up during use: this combination always has the potential to cause fires & explosions. This presentation will focus on improving the understanding of how these incidents occur, what can be done to avoid them & how the risk can be minimized during early stage design.
The Samsung Note 7 phone & Boeing Dreamliner airplane fires are very costly examples of how even large corporations fail to understand the potential fire risk of batteries.
The solution lies in knowledge of heat generation rate during normal use & information about safe boundaries such as temperature, discharge rate & overcharge, in realistic situations that represent actual use conditions. Data from commercial batteries of different types 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 & explosions occur
• How to design safer batteries though 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.
