#45 Vehicle battery of the Future - Markus Lienkamp

50% of vehicles must be battery electric in 2030 to meet the EU climate targets. By then European cell prices are likely to be as low as 50 to 70 €/kWh, while simultaneously meeting societal and sustainability requirements as well.
Even though Asian cell manufacturers are outpacing us at the moment, forcing big European players such as Northvolt , ACC - Automotive Cells Company and SVOLT Energy Technology (Europe) GmbH to shift strategies, I am optimistic that more effective close-collaboration will allow for a competitive European battery cell industry - of qualitative, sustainable battery cells - eventually.
"We need competition…" not just between players in the field, but between technologies as well. Prof. Markus Lienkamp of Technical University of Munich walks us through scenarios of cell chemistries and topologies of the future EV.
Let's E-Mobilize the Future - together
Thank you Prof. Markus Lienkamp for the discussion, as well as Bernd Hömberg and Haus der Technik e.V for hosting us at the Advanced Battery Power and Vehicle to Grid conferences.

Hmm Good conversation with many questions and many maybe and we don't know how it could go - there could be answers from the past use of batteries for example 12 v battery - one standard for connector to the car but different sizes - and another example is USB C adoption like a standard - do we apply this on Electric Vehicles. Another good example would be electric bike, they are around for a little bit longer than electric car, what we can learn from them, did they put battery in the body to save on weight - No they moved opposite direction from fixed battery on the frame to removed battery like on the electric battery drills. Another question mark would be do we really have to come with idea that battery should be fixed permanent on the body like fuel tank - battery is safe enough to be removed like on the electric drill is my opinion and then he said what about if battery on big truck goes broken for one or two cells if is removable like 12 volt battery it could be done easy and cost effective if it belongs to company like NIO battery like service or another example is propane cylinders services and company served and repairs this cylinders. Small cars or with small battery and sport cars could be better if weight is main question be like Nissan Leaf fixed to the body and very limited cooling but again if EU mandate will be like on mobile phones battery to be removable then you have to apply this rules and insurance could have their big say on the car renewal insurance price when you own the battery on the car or battery is like a service
