The event "Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing" will showcase the advances made and planned by researchers and vehicle makers for land, water and air vehicles. This year we showcase the big new move to integration in place of components-in-a-box. Think in-mold electronics, electronic 3D printing, smart skin. Add new systems such as sensor fusion, multiple energy harvesting, in-wheel systems, fast inductive charging.


What to expect

Uniquely, this event looks at how everything will change in an electric vehicle. Disruptive new mechanical, electrical and electronic systems will arrive for an ever widening variety of electric vehicles - 400kW mining and underwater giants to swarming electric flies. Winners penetrate more sectors. Innovation is benchmarked wherever it happens first. For instance, thermoelectrics and energy harvesting shock absorbers will soon appear first in many large vehicles - military to commercial.

Economy of scale with components and smart materials will be achieved by realising, for example, that e-cars, e-vacuum cleaners and e-lawn mowers will all drive themselves using the new sensor fusion. Bodywork of carbon fiber will become structural electronics storing energy, and incorporating printed wiring, embedded sensors and human interfaces - rich new pickings for chemicals and intermediate materials suppliers.

It is all here, with emphasis on the 15 year roadmap.

Feedback from past attendees:

I very much like your meetings, especially because you comprise exciting presentations from very different development fields in a single event.

    Supercapacitors 2015

    Attendees can access all the conference track and co-located tradeshow.

    		  

    Berlin is one of the most important technology hubs in Europe and we are delighted to be able to offer company visits to some leading companies in this region.

    		  

    Bridging the gap between capacitors and batteries, supercapacitors deliver high power and energy densities increasingly closer to rechargeable batteries. From instant flashlight power in mobile phones to instant acceleration power, fast charging and fast regenerative braking in electric vehicles to temporary energy sources in applications where immediate power availability may be difficult such as UPS systems. Hear how they are substituting and supplementing the functions of rechargeable batteries.
