Nearly 76 GWh of battery cell capacity was produced for the US plug-in vehicle market from 2010 to 2020, according to a recent analysis of the Li-ion battery supply chain by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory.
Batteries, as a key component of electric mobility, are not just a standard product but rather an integral component of the vehicle architecture.
In addition to continuous improvement of the current generation of lithium-ion battery systems and the further development of the cells bought on the market, research is fully underway for the next generation of battery systems. This includes work on battery management system, a complex process, as well as heat management, which is decisive for the life and performance of a battery pack.
