The Rechargeable
Renaissance
From the design concept to product delivery and beyond, electric vehicle battery development
must be a connected process if manufacturers are to achieve the greatest success.

fter years of lukewarm reception and limited
funding, it looks as if the battery electric vehicle
(BEV) market is finally going full throttle.
According to a recent Forbes article,
Schmidt Automotive Research recently reported
that BEV sales more than doubled in
2020 to nearly 750,000 and jumped again in 2021 with sales of
more than one million vehicles, despite an ongoing chip shortage
and pandemic-related disruptions.
As Mary Barra, CEO of GM, explained in her investor presentation,
" From Automaker to Platform Innovator, " the future is about
sustainability and inclusiveness, powered by batteries. Cost reduction
and adoption depend on next-generation materials, and
will enable new products and services, such as autonomous
taxis and delivery trucks.
Carlos Tavares, CEO of the newly formed automaker Stellantis
N.V. (a merger between Fiat Chrysler and the PSA Group), stated,
" There's a new world coming. Now, the machine is on, and we are
going fast forward. "
Green is Good
The reasons for BEV popularity are clear: higher performance,
simpler maintenance, and operational cost reductions. In addition,
governments everywhere continue to tighten regulations on
emissions while petroleum supply and costs remain unstable,
with the latter trending inexorably upward. Battery prices are
coming down - an 87 percent reduction between 2008 and 2020
- albeit not to the levels the auto industry and consumers would
like. Add to this a growing sense among the driving public that
spaceship Earth deserves greater care than what she's seen thus
far, and it's no wonder that BEV adoption is on the rise.
This simulation indicates hot and cold areas in an electric vehicle's
battery pack. Such visibility allows designers to address potential
problems well in advance of the product release.
