  Electric Vehicle and Hybrid Sales and Market Prospects Through 2020 – It’s Not What “They” Say

  Some industry observers have proclaimed that the electric vehicle market in the U.S. is failing. While overall sales have declined somewhat in recent months, this view is simplistic and short-sighted. A number of key products are at the end of their life cycle, with new versions on the way, and a variety of all-new products are coming. Strength in trucks and crossovers currently works against sales of these vehicles, but that will also change going forward.

  The increase in product offerings is led by a number of factors including consumer interest, regulatory requirements and government incentives in the U.S. and elsewhere, technology and cost improvements, and an interest by various automakers in making a corporate statement.

  The role of dealers has been a problem that has received little attention. There are methods to address this issue, but they are often not utilized.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Current Issues Affecting Sales
  • Product Actions and Sales Forecast by Vehicle Type – Micro Hybrids, Mild Hybrids, Regular Hybrids, Plug In Hybrids, Battery Electrics, and Fuel Cells
  • Key Trends by Vehicle Type – Now & Going Forward
  • Importance of Regulatory Policy Including California Zero Emission Vehicle Rules and EPA/NHTSA Midterm Review
  • Various Automakers Have Very Different Strategies to Electrification

  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 market
