from chemistry to pack
How can we go about maximising pack energy density? What can we look at to reduce the mass and volume? Where are the opportunities given a defined cell? A great example of shrinking the size of a battery pack is the Mercedes Vision EQXX research car. The advantage they had was a much more energy … Read more
Recent industrial and academic studies have shown that aluminium cell housings can provide several benefits in terms of thermal management and gravimetric energy density in particular1,2,3. However, as Cell-To-Pack and Cell-To-Chassis approaches arise the battery cell and therefore, the battery cell housing, become part of the structure of the battery electric vehicle contributing with their … Read more
The 2022 Nissan Ariya has two battery pack sizes, 63kWh (66kWh total) and 87kWh (91kWh total). The vehicle is also available in 2WD and 4WD variants. The details around the battery specifications are very scarce and hence lots of gaps we need to gradually fill. However, I think this is worth sharing for the thermal … Read more
