The US 2020 Market for Electrified Vehicles: Forward, Backward, or Sideways?

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

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

EIS for Energy Storage Tutorial Course 1/3 – Basics of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

The theoretical principles of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) are given. Details on what is being measured and which information it gives on the studied system are also explained. Some elements will be given on how an EIS measurement is performed from an instrumental point of view. Finally, the requirements that EIS must fulfill are presented.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• What is an EIS measurement?
• Which information do we get from this measurement?
• How is it performed?
• Which requirements should it fulfill?

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

EIS for Energy Storage Tutorial Course 2/3 – How to Perform Good and Reliable EIS Measurements

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful technique, but it might be difficult to know which parameters to set as it really depends on the studied system. We give a few guidelines and tools needed to set the right amplitude, as well as other experimental parameters of interest that can increase the accuracy and the reliability of your measurement.

A discussion will be given about when and whether to choose between potentio-controlled or galvano-controlled EIS.

Finally, we will give recommendations on the conditions that the system under study should fulfill, especially time-variance, with some examples on the effect it has on impedance data and how to correct them.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• How to choose the amplitude of the input signal?
• How to choose between PEIS and GEIS?
• What do I need to check on my system?

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

EIS for Energy Storage Tutorial Course 3/3 – Application Examples in Energy Storage Taken From The Literature

This presentation will give some examples of applications of EIS to various types of energy storage – for example, intercalation batteries (LFP, LCO, NiCd, NiMH etc.), lead acid batteries, and redox flow batteries. The examples are taken from research literature. The review will not be exhaustive, but it will provide examples that are considered relevant. For each application, some elements of comparison between EIS and DC methods will be given.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• Examples in insertion batteries
• Examples in lead acid batteries
• Examples in redox flow batteries
• Examples in supercapacitors
• Comparison with DC methods

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.
