Battery Intelligence in Action – How to Launch an EV
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
Launching a new EV platform is a high-stakes game, where any problems encountered during battery pack development can severely jeopardize target ship dates. Developing an EV battery pack is a lengthy process comprising multiple interconnected stages that span from choosing the right cell to integrating the full pack into the vehicle. Each of these stages is complex and involves function-specific battery testing and analysis. This webinar will walk through each stage of EV pack development in detail, and will highlight how an integrated Battery Intelligence platform can drive an on-time launch and ensure quality and traceability, while minimizing risk throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Discuss how the battery is the most complex and costly component in the development of an EV, and is the component most likely to delay launch
• Review the complex multi-step process required to develop an EV pack and demystify pack development from cell selection through vehicle integration
• Showcase an interactive demonstration of key analytics

Approaches to Recovering Critical Materials From Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries
FREE Webinar – Li-Cycle is a proud sponsor of this event.
As the world transitions towards sustainability and low carbon emissions, lithium-ion batteries are being used across a broad spectrum of products and industries. The automotive industry, in particular, estimates 559 million of electric vehicles will be on the road by 2040. Consequently, lithium-ion battery waste is forecasted to hit over 11 million tonnes by 2030.
How can the world deal with this oncoming tsunami of lithium-ion batteries?
The audience will have the answer after this webinar as this presentation will walk through both global and future approaches to dealing with end-of-life batteries and explore the importance of recovering critical materials from lithium-ion batteries to meet future demand.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Global end-of-life lithium-ion battery market opportunity
• Recycling vs reuse
• Incumbent technologies for ‘recycling’ lithium-ion batteries
• New technologies and techniques for recycling lithium-ion batteries
• Comparative benefits of recycling technologies

The US 2020 Market for Electrified Vehicles: Forward, Backward, or Sideways?
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
Sales of battery electrics and hybrids were up last year, while plug in hybrids dropped even as the number of entries increased. New products are coming in 2020 and beyond; will sales rise quickly enough to keep the market moving forward? Product, price, incentives, features, branding, and marketing all matter and will be discussed.
For the second year in a row, we expect Tesla’s US sales to decline, although each category (e.g., hybrids, plug ins, battery electrics) will increase with the strongest increase in…regular and mild hybrids.
Major changes in costs and technology, as well as the impact of suppliers in these areas, will be discussed, as well as expectations for the near-term.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Review of 2019 Sales with a 2020 Forecast
• How Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
• Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies Often Matter More
• Is There a Gap Between Strategy and Reality?
• The Role of Suppliers and Technology

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
