In May 2023, we conducted a comprehensive study commissioned by a leading Asian OEM, focusing on the cell-to-pack strategy of the Zeekr 009 and the structural battery pack design of the Tesla Model Y. Our research revealed pivotal findings in three key areas: battery cells, cooling plates, and the venting system. As the demand for affordable, lightweight, and high-energy-density batteries in electric vehicles continues to rise, these insights are crucial. We delved into the evolution of battery design, supply chain strategies, BiW battery integration, cell analysis and arrangement, internal battery connections, and much more.

🔋 Elevating EV Performance with High Specific Energy Density. As the race towards a sustainable future accelerates, electric vehicle manufacturers are honing in on one of the most critical parameters: high specific energy density, calculated as the ratio between the energy (Wh) and the weight of the battery pack (kg). Achieving this milestone enables benefits that enhance both vehicle performance and user experience: - Increased range: a higher specific energy density translates to a lower overall weight, allowing EVs to travel further on a single charge. - Better performance and lower operating costs: improved energy density boosts vehicle performance, making EVs more efficient and cost-effective for the driver. - Compact design: optimizing space with high energy density batteries allows for more spacious and comfortable vehicle interiors. Our Study 📊 With the world's most extensive automotive database at its core, A2MAC1 - Decode the future has analyzed the specific energy density of the 21 best-selling EV models, and found that the Zeekr 009 leads the pack with the highest specific energy density. This is due to: - Cells with high nickel content, to boost energy storage capacity. - Composite current collector: using PET-covered aluminum reduces weight. -Cell-to-Pack concept: to minimize the space taken by battery modules, enhancing overall efficiency. To provide an initial overview of the study, we categorized the 21 vehicles (including the Zeekr 009) based on their regions of production: 8 from North America, 4 from Europe, and 8 from China. We then compared the average specific energy density of each group to that of the Zeekr 009. The results are displayed in the infographic below. Are you interested in having full access to our study and discovering how specific battery design choices impact EV performance and sustainability?
