The field of energy storage is extremely active with a constant stream of innovations being deployed to address some major design challenges. At the heart of this activity is the commercial drive to increase energy density, extend battery life, and improve overall charge and discharge efficiencies in order to reduce unit costs and enhance product reliability.
In particular, the electric vehicle industry is faced with major economic pressures to increase energy densities and hence reduce costs. There has been an increased focus on developing high efficiency, cost-effective electric vehicles whose performance is competitive with gas-powered cars, and as the price of oil rises and environmental concerns become more important, automotive companies are putting greater effort into electric and hybrid-electric vehicles (EV/HEV).
In this whitepaper, read about how math-based modeling techniques are used to design batteries for efficient electric vehicles.
