Track 1: Prospects for Li-ion, Solid State and Beyond. BCS Theatre
The global battery industry is predicted to be worth well over $300 billion by 2030, with the Li-ion segment growing to more than $120 billion in the same period. These numbers are staggering and the competition between companies and countries to attract the investment, skills and supplies is fierce.
The UK and the wider battery community have both an opportunity and a challenge at this point. In order to meet ambitious carbon targets and renew growth in the automotive sector through a transition from ICE to EV technology, one of the pivotal factors for success is a competitive battery supply chain from top to bottom – and fast. With government backing, the right regulatory incentives and collaborative, agile industry partnerships, the UK must use its 2030 target to springboard investment into the supply chain from stakeholders ready to optimise the UK’s resources, including a diverse and skilled workforce and a substantial renewable energy supply. This session will hear from the brightest minds in the sector sharing ideas on how to overcome the biggest hurdles and seize this promising opportunity.

Track 2: The Rapid Electrification of Non-Passenger Vehicles. VEX Theatre
The Climate Change Committee has suggested that alongside banning the sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, 46% of all cars already on the road must be EVs by that date in order to keep the UK on track with its goal of cutting CO2 emissions by 68% (est. 16 million vehicles). This is a hefty target and will require some fundamental shifts in manufacturing, regulations and demand to achieve it.
Deloitte’s latest outlook shows EV sales with a compound annual growth rate of 29% achieved over the next 8 years: Total EV sales growing from 2.5 million in 2020 to 11.2 million in 2025, then reaching 31.1 million by 2030 – but this growth is not guaranteed and advances must be made for this to happen. This headline session will outline the multiple factors that are crucial to a successful transition – with on-stage experts sharing constructive ideas on how every part of the sector can contribute quickly and collaboratively to this common goal – after all, 8 years is not a long time in the automotive industry.

The list of benefits related to solid state batteries represents a holy grail for battery designers; they are safer, lighter, dendrite-resistant so able to charge faster, smaller and quicker to manufacture. The only issue with them is that no one has managed to produce them at volume – yet. That said, with Toyota / Panasonic, Volkswagen/ Quantumscape and Daimler / Stellantis all predicting mass market arrival between 2024-2026 it seems we are nearly there for the front runners at least.
As the prospective leader in the long-term race to replace the incumbent Li-ion liquid electrolyte battery, solid state’s properties are very exciting, but what are the technical barriers that remain in the design, manufacture and integration of solid state batteries and how will they be overcome?

According to Global Newswire ‘the global electric truck market is projected to reach nearly $1.9 billion by 2027 – that’s a CAGR of 25.8% from 2020’ and ‘the global electric bus market size is projected to grow from 81,000 units in 2021 to reach 704,000 units by 2027, at a CAGR of 43.1%’.
Bus and truck manufacturers, together with governments, are injecting substantial funding into electrifying bus and truck fleets in a way that meets both economical and environmental pressures. However, success and this positive direction of travel is not guaranteed – the technical challenges of delivering electric systems that are capable of such long distances, near constant use and heavy load bearing is not to be underestimated.
Our panel of experts will outline the profiles and demands of the leading medium and heavy duty vehicle designs before investigating what these factors mean for the development of a zero emissions future for larger, commercial vehicles.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular battery storage option today, dominating more than 90% of the global grid storage battery and EV markets. However, concerns over both the source and availability of supply, its performance limitations and the related costs have consistently led innovators to explore multiple other possibilities. The options are numerous, from changing the electrolyte to altering the anode or cathode materials and/or their manufacturing processes to find a cell recipe that can deliver equal or greater performance, at similar or lower cost, without compromising on safety or sustainability.
This is not a small task, but as the world races to secure the supply of raw materials, finding multiple options for future battery demand will be crucial to success. This discussion will highlight the most promising developments and remaining barriers to novel chemistries.

There are several factors driving the demand for electric fleets and these vary depending on the geography. In London, you can expect to pay nearly £100 for driving a non-compliant vehicle into the ultra-low emission zone, each and every day that you do so. In California, the advanced truck ruling mandates that manufacturers of commercial vehicles with ICEs would have to sell zero-emission trucks as a growing segment of overall sales.
Despite these factors, the progress is not as fast as you might believe. Less than 1% of UK online retailers currently offer green delivery options at checkout, a stark figure. However, consumer demand for green delivery options is huge with 80% stating it is a factor in their choices (IBM figures). Green delivery solutions are myriad; from electric vans, scooters and e-bikes to drones and autonomous robots. There is also increased demand from the logistics sector, with a recent survey from Fiat finding that the ‘white van man’ is going green with 33% already considering the switch to electric. It is fair to say that changes are afoot.
Our panel of experts will discuss the current best-in-class innovations for fleet electrification and the challenges that remain for rolling out this tech, en masse and at speed.

Over the course of a vehicle’s lifetime it is generally accepted that H/EVs have a smaller carbon footprint than their ICE counterparts, although the data varies widely and this isn’t a statement without controversy.
The environmental and ethical challenges for EV and battery production begin with raw material sources and the method of extraction, and continue right through to the manufacturing plant location, processes and power sources, the energy source for powering the vehicle once it’s on the road and end-of-life, second life and recycling concerns. The battery for just one EV requires the involvement of around 225 tonnes of material by some estimates. So how is the industry addressing this complex picture and what more can be done to close the loop when it comes to reusing, recycling and extending the lifecycle of new and retrofitted vehicles?

The UK government has proposed a ban on new petrol or diesel cars by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. Both of these targets have had a dramatic impact on the auto industry – initially on the OEMs who are all racing to electrify their fleets – but also on the supply chains that need to serve them. Combine these targets with the ongoing changes resulting from Brexit and the Pandemic and the supply chain is grappling with a lot of disruption and also, huge opportunity.
Key priorities now involve engaging the future talent pool, helping existing supply chain members re-skill their workforces, demonstrating the attractiveness of the UK for new investment and ensuring that key components and materials are either locally sourced, or come from an area that has been de-risked.
This session will highlight the exciting projects already underway to develop the UK’s sector and supply chain, and where the opportunities still lie for further growth and improvement.

Track 2: Accelerating EV Technology Development. VEX Theatre
The UK government has proposed a ban on new petrol or diesel cars by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. Both of these targets have had a dramatic impact on the auto industry – initially on the OEMs who are all racing to electrify their fleets – but also on the supply chains that need to serve them. Combine these targets with the ongoing changes resulting from Brexit and the Pandemic and the supply chain is grappling with a lot of disruption and also, huge opportunity.
Key priorities now involve engaging the future talent pool, helping existing supply chain members re-skill their workforces, demonstrating the attractiveness of the UK for new investment and ensuring that key components and materials are either locally sourced, or come from an area that has been de-risked.
This session will highlight the exciting projects already underway to develop the UK’s sector and supply chain, and where the opportunities still lie for further growth and improvement.

Track 1: Improving Battery Performance, Sustainability, Safety and Cost. BCS Theatre
Safely developing batteries from design to volume production is currently a prohibitively time consuming, complex and costly process that is further slowed by necessary but equally resource hungry testing procedures. As a result, stakeholders who are able to utilise modelling, digital twins, big data, machine learning and AI in battery and EV design and testing will find themselves better able to challenge in this highly competitive marketplace. These tools can help to reach the prototype stage faster, reduce faults, enhance quality, improve compliance and deliver the safest possible battery and EV systems – all while reducing the amount of field testing needed.
This seems like a golden opportunity, but stakeholders have occasionally been slow to trust digital tools over their more tangible, analog cousins. This session will seek to see whether the pandemic has accelerated digitisation in product development and testing – and to outline which digital tools are making the difference, where they are yet to be fully realised and which areas of battery design and development may never be suited to digital replication.

Track 2: Accelerating EV Technology Development. VEX Theatre
The UK is a dominant force in motorsport, as the base for seven F1 teams and six Formula E teams. The country also excels in high performance road vehicle engineering, sitting at the cutting edge of automotive design in both historic classic car brands and novel startups. The racetrack is rightly vaunted as the testbed for novel battery and powertrain technologies, as well as advanced materials and electronics – with successful innovations filtering through to passenger EVs. This system benefits both the racing world and passenger vehicles through a cycle of investment but as motorsport diversifies and diverges between hybrid and ZEV, how does this relationship change?
Electrification requires a new approach to design and engineering for elite automotive designers, with a different value chain and novel materials science and innovation. But if racing car developers, high performance vehicle designers and passenger OEMs can improve collaboration and accelerate the transition of technology to the roadcar, profit and reinvestment is improved at all ends of the supply chain from the cutting edge to the roadcar.
This session is set to examine what technology trends we can expect to reach production cars from racing and high performance vehicles, what has been learned so far through the meteoric rise of ZEV racing, what part the UK’s niche high-performance manufacturers have to play and whether hybrid and ICE powered motorsports remain relevant in this landscape.

Track 1: Improving Battery Performance, Sustainability, Safety and Cost. BCS Theatre
As international regions and countries compete to host the manufacturing bases for global EV OEMs and battery gigafactories, regulators and industry representatives have a tightrope to walk between encouraging innovation and attracting investment, whilst also maintaining the highest standards for clean manufacturing. Frameworks need to encourage the development of EVs and batteries with the smallest possible carbon footprint and the lowest cost of development – not always complementary goals.
The UK finds itself in a relatively new and unique position in Europe, with both the desire and ability to meet changing EU regulations – thereby guaranteeing a key import and export market with continental friends – but also with a chance to develop further and faster with innovative frameworks of its own. This session will investigate how regulations and standards can be implemented to accelerate innovation and moreover how to ensure the UK is leading the way in credible regulatory development built on improved communication between consumers, the industry and government bodies.

Good power electronics can be the difference when working to manage a EV’s battery and powertrain systems safely and with optimal efficiency. Power electronics systems are known to undergo complex design and manufacturing processes as they are by necessity multidisciplinary, forming the pivot that interlinks the electrical, thermal, mechanical, control, software, and magnetic functions of the EV.
This session is an opportunity to hear a panel of experts examine the latest materials, designs and developments in power electronics whilst seeking to understand how the external changes in EV design, user demands or materials supply will impact current and future design considerations.

Safety, cell aging and performance are just a few of the reasons that good thermal management is crucial to H/EV success – but the pressing and growing need for ever faster charging is raising the stakes even further. Fast or ultra-fast charging is seen by many as crucial in attracting those consumers seeking to replicate their ICE user experience. A cohesive thermal management system can be the difference between maintaining a healthy, long-lasting battery and running the risk of thermal runaway or extreme degradation, with well publicised results.
This session will consider current thermal management best practice, before considering the extra burden from ultra-fast charging and finally our panel of experts will discuss what the options are for maintaining optimal thermal range at all times.

The efficiency of an EV’s motor and electronics directly impacts the battery, every 1% lower efficiency requires 1% more power from the battery meaning more batteries and more weight. EV performance directly depends on the electrical motor specifications and in turn, the performance of the motor is determined by the torque-speed and power-speed characteristics of the traction motor.
With several different architectures out there, one design is winning, where to find the greatest gains and what the near future looks like for advanced electric motor design in terms of efficiency, materials and other key factors in performance improvement?

Battery packs are the heaviest and most expensive component in an EV and managing their cost, size, weight, energy density, power density, thermal range, power electronics, BMS and safety profile is a complex balance. Demand for BEVs is accelerating rapidly, and the prevailing industry view is that demand for certain critical raw materials will comfortably outstrip the ability of miners and processors to supply these materials in the medium term (5-10 years). Meanwhile, most industry stakeholders forecast that the size of the average BEV battery pack will increase steadily over the coming decade. This presents the BEV industry with a dilemma: given a finite lithium supply and growing pack sizes, BEV sales could fall short of expectations.
Is there another way forward? If battery pack sizes were to decrease, aggressive BEV manufacturing targets could be achieved; but with the current state of UK charging infrastructure and the prospect of range anxiety, who would buy this kind of vehicle? It has been widely accepted until now that batteries will continue to get bigger as EV makers seek to match or exceed the capacity of the average tank of fuel in an ICE propelled car. However this philosophy is being increasingly questioned as developers raise the question as to whether size is everything.

Meanwhile, most industry stakeholders forecast that the size of the average BEV battery pack will increase steadily over the coming decade. This presents the BEV industry with a dilemma: given a finite lithium supply and growing pack sizes, BEV sales could fall short of expectations.
Is there another way forward? If battery pack sizes were to decrease, aggressive BEV manufacturing targets could be achieved; but with the current state of UK charging infrastructure and the prospect of range anxiety, who would buy this kind of vehicle? It has been widely accepted until now that batteries will continue to get bigger as EV makers seek to match or exceed the capacity of the average tank of fuel in an ICE propelled car. However this philosophy is being increasingly questioned as developers raise the question as to whether size is everything.

Day 2 | 15.10 pm - 16.15 pm
Track 2: Accelerating EV Technology Development. VEX Theatre
When discussing EV advances the battery attracts more attention as the costlier and heavier component – but the powertrain is almost as crucial and must manage multiple changing dynamics and requirements in power, torque, energy source and more. This session examines how the powertrains of the next five years/decades might develop.
This session will examine which platforms are finding traction and why, and our panel of experts will seek to understand where technology trends might take us in future powertrain design.
