How to Design and Integrate Flexible, Safe and Cost-Effective Battery Packs
Monday, 10 March 2025
Format: Talks + Q&A
With thermal runaway responsible for over 80% of battery-related EV recalls, safety remains a critical challenge in pack design. At the same time, manufacturers must optimise flexibility and cost-efficiency to meet demand across diverse vehicle platforms. This session explores structural innovations, next-gen materials and integration strategies that enhance pack safety, manufacturability and performance—while keeping costs competitive.
Key Themes:
- Optimising pack integration to streamline manufacturing and improve vehicle performance
- Safe design at low, cost – balancing lightweighting and cost reduction with safety
- Cool under pressure: innovations in thermal management for battery packs
- Modular pack designs and the argument for standardisation for cross-platform vehicle compatibility
