Optimizing Thermal Management In Electric Vehicles To Improve Performance (Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing. USA 2017)

As Electric Vehicles begin to gain a lot of momentum globally, there is a continued push towards increasing energy density and power density. Crucial to EV adoption and success are Lithium Ion batteries. As densities increase, OEMs and tiers are confronted with the need to dissipate heat from battery packs for optimal performance. New technology to help with thermal management will be presented. The talk will also emphasize the need for OEMs to include materials suppliers early on in the design process to help optimize their solutions and reduce overall cost.
