Challenges and Innovations in Battery Technologies for Electric Mobility: Global Perspectives and Advances in Brazil

The conference on batteries and associated technologies brought together industry experts such as Rafael Cunha from MUV Eletromobilidade and Luke Hu from Electroder, focusing on innovations in electromobility and energy storage. The event offered simultaneous translation into Portuguese and English during the sessions, ensuring accessibility for a diverse audience. After the end of the meeting, participants will have online access to the authorized presentations to promote a global dissemination of knowledge. During his presentation, Luke Hu compared the battery cell formats used regionally; he highlighted prismatic models popular in China in contrast to the cylindrical ones adopted by Tesla in the US. The conference underlined needs-based technological decisions within an interconnected global technological context by October 2023. Innovative solutions were explored to optimize battery energy densities through cell-to-pack design without intermediate modules or compact LFP chemistries introduced by BYD with space-efficient blade cells; in addition, alternatives to lithium such as sodium-ion were discussed; challenges in electric vehicles (EVs); sustainable reuse (“Second Life”); ethical impacts on the use of locally available global natural resources.
