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

Finding Your Place as the Industry Doubles Down on Electrified Vehicles
Sales are moving forward, primarily due to the Tesla Model 3. A raft of new vehicles is arriving in 2019. Besides the plug-ins and battery electrics, hybrids (including 48V and stop/start micro hybrids) are coming.
Is it a response to regulatory policy? Yes. Is regulatory policy unclear? Yes. Are some companies leaders and others laggards? Yes. Is the supply base critical to product development? Yes. Automakers are setting their own positions as they try to understand the threats and opportunities in their key global markets, even as the regulatory situation becomes more muddled.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current Sales Trends Regarding EVs and Hybrids
• EPA/NHTSA vs. The Automakers!?
• California, EU, and China March Forward
• Strategies in Near-, Medium-, and Long-Term for Supplier and Automaker

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 2/3: Beyond the Standards: Device-Specific Testing
After choosing your cell and manufacturer (Part 1 of this series), most likely, they will have passed the tests of various standards organizations. However, depending on your operating environment, you may need to go above and beyond the baseline to ensure your product operates as intended. This webinar is Part 2 in a three-part series and will review a variety of factors to consider in your device-specific testing, including designing tests to predict the outcomes of various user-abuse scenarios, understanding the mechanisms of gas generation, capacity retention based on different voltage windows, and what happens if you need to cycle your cells outside of their operating range (outside in an Arizona summer or Minnesota winter, for example).
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• User-abuse scenarios to prevent against
• Causes and effects of various gas generation mechanisms
• Voltage limits

BIS Tutorial Course 1/3: Introducing Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS)
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
While the industry is familiar with the battery and its BMS (battery management system), very few are aware of the critical need for a missing third layer, the Battery Intelligence System (BIS) needed to enable the leap in battery yield, energy density, and lifetime the industry is calling for.
Battery Intelligence Systems are needed to leverage the latent value sitting in data that companies are collecting today, including but not limited to: data generated in battery factories in Asia, product OEMs around the globe, and ‘data lakes’ collecting data from systems in the field.
Your organization already has the building blocks to enable BIS. In this webinar we’ll show you the benefits of unlocking the value of your battery data.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The need for Battery Intelligence
• State of the industry: insufficient resources to meet aggressive electrification goals
• State of data today: “Treating it like a mushroom and watching it grow”
• Automation of standard analyses
• Traceability with Battery Digital Twins
