Fulfilling the Automotive Promise of EV and Hybrid Battery Technology

Del Williams, Technical Writer

With the federal government nearly doubling car and light-duty truck fuel economy standards to the equivalent of 54.5 MPG by 2025, electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle technology is set to play a vital role, if lingering battery life and overheating issues can be resolved.

Whether in cell phones, hybrid/electric vehicles or airplanes, batteries have become virtually indispensable to modern life. Traditional means of evaluating battery performance with advanced chemistries such as lithium-ion don’t provide sufficient information to allow researchers to better optimize them. Thus, they are turning to simulation software to get a deeper understanding of what is going on inside the cells, information they can use in the design of batteries that are more reliable and safe.
