Battery Cells & Systems Expo Conference
Europe is facing a rapidly growing demand for EVs and electric mobility, driven by environmental regulations and consumer demand for more sustainable transportation. However, this growth has also highlighted the challenges in the EV and battery supply chain, such as sourcing raw materials, producing batteries, and managing waste and recycling.
One of the key challenges is the dependence on raw materials imported from outside Europe, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. This creates supply chain risks and raises concerns about the environmental and social impact of mining these materials. Additionally, Europe lags behind other regions in battery production capacity, which limits the competitiveness of its EV industry.
To overcome these challenges, Europe needs to address the entire EV and battery supply chain, from raw material extraction to end-of-life recycling. This strategy should focus on three key areas: diversifying supply chains, increasing battery production capacity, and promoting sustainable practices.

EV adoption in the UK and Europe faces hurdles such as cost, range, and charging infrastructure but things are mostly moving in the right direction. The average EV cost has dropped by 13% since 2019, according to Auto Trader and the UK government offers grants of up to £2,500 for eligible EVs. In Europe, battery prices have decreased by 89% since 2010. Bloomberg predicts EVs will be cost-competitive with traditional cars by 2025.
Range anxiety is a concern, but EV range is improving. The 2021 Tesla Model S Long Range can go up to 405 miles, and the 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 has a range of up to 323 miles on a single charge. Charging infrastructure is improving too. In the UK, there are over 25,000 public charging connectors, up from 9,000 in 2018.
This session will address what OEMs and their value chains can do to address any misconceptions on battery sustainability, life-cycle and environmental impact and to overcome genuine barriers to uptake which are holding some back from switching to EVs

In the UK, road transport accounts for around 23% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, with passenger cars contributing the largest share. EVs were often touted in the past as the ideal response to reducing these emissions but there are complexities in this statement.
The production of an EV battery can generate 61-106 kg of CO2 emissions per kWh of battery capacity compared to the production of an internal combustion engine which generates around 10-20 kg of CO2 per kWh. However, it’s important to note that electric vehicles are still considered more environmentally friendly in the long run due to their lower emissions during use.
Understanding the carbon footprint of EVs and batteries requires a holistic approach that considers the entire life cycle from the materials used to manufacture it, to use on the road and its end-of-life disposal. This session will address some of the most interesting strategies, innovations and learnings around this topic.

According to a 2021 report by the International Energy Agency, as of 2020, the technology readiness levels (TRLs) for most alternatives to Li-ion batteries were still in the early stages of development, with TRLs ranging from 1 to 3 on a scale of 1 to 9 (where 1 is the earliest stage of research and 9 is commercial deployment). Only a few technologies, such as sodium-ion and solid-state batteries, had reached TRLs of 4 or higher.
The Lithium ion (Li-ion) battery has dominated the electric vehicle battery market, but its limitations in terms of energy density, safety, and cost have led researchers to explore alternative technologies. For example Solid-state batteries, Sodium, ion and Li-Sulfur batteries have all emerged as promising new innovations with the potential to compete but each have their advantages and pitfalls.
This session will touch on these new developments and address what’s needed to get them to a level where they are able to compete in the market.

Vehicle Electrification Expo Conference
Achieving sufficient energy density in batteries is a complex technical challenge in the electrification of heavy-duty and off-highway vehicles. These vehicles require a higher power output than passenger EVs, which means that battery packs must have a larger energy storage capacity to meet their energy requirements. Additionally, the weight and size limitations of heavy-duty and off-highway vehicles require a high energy density to provide maximum power output while minimising additional mass.
In the UK and Europe, heavy-duty vehicles account for a significant share of total greenhouse gas emissions, with the former contributing 14% of the country’s total emissions.
This session will address what is needed from manufacturing techniques, battery design and powertrain innovation to enable commercial vehicle and off highway electrification.

Day 2 | 11.30 am - 12.30 pm
Battery Cells & Systems Expo Conference
Recycling lithium-ion batteries is a complex process with significant challenges including disassembling battery packs, removing toxic components, and separating metals and chemicals. According to the International Energy Agency, less than 5% of lithium-ion batteries are currently recycled, resulting in a significant loss of valuable materials worth over $2 billion each year. Additionally, the cost of recycling lithium-ion batteries is higher than that of producing new batteries, with the recycling cost of lithium-ion batteries ranging from $1 to $2 per pound compared to the production cost of new batteries, which is $0.80 per pound. The high cost of recycling, coupled with the low market price of recycled materials, makes it difficult for recyclers to operate profitably.
This session will address the possibilities for overcoming these challenges including innovative technologies and processes to increase efficiency and reduce costs, while also improving the environmental impact of recycling.

Battery Cells & Systems Expo Conference
Battery safety is a major concern for electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe and the UK. According to a report by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, there were 103 electric vehicle fires per year in the European Union between 2019 and 2020, resulting in two fatalities and 37 injuries. Similarly, in the UK, there were 40 electric vehicle fires reported in 2020. These numbers represent a small fraction of the overall number of vehicle fires in these regions. However, given the growing popularity of EVs, it is important to ensure that battery safety remains a top priority.
This session will feature the innovations and ideas set to address this issue, including new battery technologies and designs that are less prone to thermal runaway, battery management systems, thermal management systems, and fire suppression systems to minimise the risk of battery-related incidents as well as in-line contamination removal and testing innovations set to catch these issues before the car is on the road.

EV powertrains must be designed to maximise power density, manage temperatures while minimising weight and size. The power density of an EV powertrain is around 2-3 times lower than that of an internal combustion engine powertrain and requires more significant investments in lightweight materials and design optimisation to achieve performance goals. Heat management is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of the motor, and designers must balance cooling with the weight and complexity of the cooling system. According to a study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the thermal management of the electric motor can account for up to 20% of the total weight of the powertrain. Finally, designers must balance power and efficiency. While high power output is desirable, it can come at the cost of efficiency and range. According to a study by the University of Waterloo, increasing the power output of an EV powertrain by 50% can reduce driving range by up to 25%.
This session will touch on each of these areas and more, with discussion of the key challenges and opportunities designers face when it comes to advanced powertrain design and production.

To make EV charging accessible, safe, fast and economical, several technical factors need to be considered. Firstly, high-power chargers are needed to reduce charging time and meet the growing demand for EVs. The UK government has committed £1.3 billion ($1.8 billion) to support the rollout of EV charging infrastructure, including the installation of 2,500 high-power charging stations by 2030 but private sector input is needed too.
On top of this, interoperability is essential to ensure access to a wide range of charging networks and finally smart charging solutions can improve the efficiency and reduce the cost for users whilst also enabling EVs to charge at times when electricity is cheapest and reduces the strain on the grid. All of these issues come before the impact of charging technology on the EV and battery as the technology for these constantly evolves too.
This session will feature discussions on the developments needed on all sides and where and how stakeholders might work together to untangle a complex landscape.

The cost of electric vehicles (EVs) has been a significant barrier for many consumers, but as the technology matures, there are signs of progress. According to a study by the International Energy Agency (IEA), EV sales in Europe surpassed one million in 2020, with the UK accounting for over 176,000 of those sales. Despite this, the overall cost of EVs remains higher than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. In the UK, the average cost of an EV is still £10,000 more than the average petrol or diesel car. However, as battery technology continues to improve, costs are expected to decrease further. In fact, the IEA predicts that by 2030, the cost of EVs will be on par with gasoline-powered cars. Additionally, governments across Europe are investing in EV infrastructure, with the UK government pledging £2.8 billion for EV charging points.
This session will take a look at what’s changing in terms of the cost of making and buying an EV and how the industry can reduce it’s own costs and those it passes onto the consumer.
