Why attend?
Over the past year, electric vehicles have been backed with growing industry confidence as market technologies have advanced to create more viable vehicles. Although EVs are available today, the battery continues to be a crippling factor for getting these vehicles on the road with consumers. The future of electric vehicles relies on sophisticated battery technology that combat cost, range limitations, and durability. Breakthroughs in cell chemistry and battery management systems have shifted the range barrier, while predictions show future battery technologies capable of 250+ miles, faster charging and energy densities reaching as high as 400 Wh/kg. In a rapidly evolving industry, it is crucial to understand the key battery technology advancements and engineering breakthroughs.
This Briefing will provide a timely opportunity for informational networking between engineers, consultants, research and development houses, battery manufacturers, component manufacturers, OEMs and business development managers. There will also be opportunities to discuss the latest developments in battery technologies including alternative energy storage, the latest battery innovations and sustainability of electric vehicles. Delegates will discuss how the automotive industry can tackle further technology advancement and range barriers. Furthermore, attendees will have the opportunity to network, share ideas and discuss business development initiatives with delegates and speakers alike in an informal atmosphere.
