Advanced battery technology is the fastest growing technical field being addressed in electric vehicle development today. It has become the foundation of electric vehicles which defines vehicle cost, range, performance and design characteristics. During this growth, lithium battery technology has quickly become the predominant chemistry among OEMs and suppliers due to its significant advantages in volumetric power and energy. The recent rapid developments behind lithium batteries have provided promising and dynamic achievements in capacity and vehicle range. Researchers now predict that future lithium technology and chemistries have the potential for energy values upwards of 3,000W/kg, allowing for lighter and more powerful system solutions. With this extraordinary momentum and rapidly growing sector, it will be essential to understand the roadmap and outlook for lithium batteries as this technology continues to shape the future development of the automotive industry.
