4:40 U.S. Department of Energy Electric Vehicle Battery Research Pathways and Key Results
Brian Cunningham, Engineer, U.S. Department of Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy set key technical targets necessary to enable Electric Vehicles (EV) to be as affordable as gasoline vehicles by 2022. A focus of this effort is the development of more cost-effective, longer lasting, and more abuse-tolerant EV batteries. VTO’s battery R&D effort includes multiple activities, ranging from battery materials research to battery cell and pack development and testing. This presentation highlights the current battery R&D pathways supported by VTO and key technical results from 2017.
5:05 PANEL DISCUSSION: The Cost of Quality in Advanced Battery Development and Manufacturing
Moderator: John Wozniak, President, Energy Storage and Power Consulting
Panelists: Bruce Miller, Technology Strategist, Dell
Brian Cunningham, Engineer, U.S. Department of Energy
Curtiss Renn, PhD, Senior Scientist, Polaris Laboratories LLC
Additional Panelists to be Announced
The development of durable and affordable advanced batteries for use in automotive, consumer electronics and stationary applications drives R&D activities. This panel of experts examines the true cost of quality and how approaches to the development of advanced batteries must be adapted to avoid the significant pitfalls on the road to commercialization.
