Blaise Bridier, PhD’s Post

I'll be speaking about: "Enhancing Recycling of Valuable Materials from Spent Lithium-ion Batteries Using Electrostatic and Magnetic Separations"

Happy to speak soon at the conference below about RiDERgy and learn more about exciting developments in battery tech!

🔋 #AdvancedAutomotiveBatteryConference Europe kicked off today in Strasbourg, France, uniting major players from the automotive and battery sectors. 🎤 Tomorrow, Skeleton’s CTO Dr. Linus Froböse will speak at #AABC about “Fast-Charging in High-Utilization Use Cases: Optimization of Power/Energy Ratios”. ⚡️ The electrification of high utilization use cases requires low charging times and long cycle lifetimes to ensure a low total cost of ownership (TCO). Skeleton Technologies' high-power energy storage technology, the #SuperBattery, is capable of being charged in 60 seconds and surviving up to 50,000 cycles. 🚗 🚚 Some of the other OEMs and battery developers taking the #AABC stage from Monday to Thursday include General Motors, BMW Group, AUDI AG, Daimler Truck AG, Porsche AG, Stellantis, Tesla, LG Energy Solution, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Northvolt, Saft, Farasis Energy, Rimac Technology, QuantumScape, ProLogium Technology 輝能科技 and more. #Skeletonians #EnergyStorage #Automotive #Battery #Technology #Innovation #Batteries #Electrification #TCO

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐀𝐄 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐍𝐀𝐈𝐏𝐂) 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 Bruce Belzowski, Managing Director from Automotive Futures Group, attended SAE International NAIPC in Chicago last week.  He’s joined here with Automotive Futures Affiliate, Jeremy Holt, CEO of Amsted Automotive.  The conference focused on important issues related to current and future #propulsion systems including The Challenge of Navigating Consumer Choice, Economic and Environmental Policy, Rational ICE Ramp Down, Creating a Customer-Centric #Energy Ecosystem for EV and H2 Vehicles, Managing Capital in the Auto Industry, China As The Competition, and Insights from Suppliers and Manufacturers on the Future of Propulsion Systems.  The takeaways?  Slower EV adoption, continued ICE sales into the distant future, uniqueness of US #auto EV consumers, hydrogen and EVs for commercial fleets, large investments in charging infrastructure from government and industry, manufacturers taking different routes to the propulsion future, and suppliers challenged to meet both ICE and EV component technology requests.  Companies seem set in short term thinking, based on their need to meet quarterly financial goals.  With the slowdown in #EV purchases, they seem focused on making as much as they can on ICE vehicles as long as they can because that’s where all their investments are.  There was little talk about the Inflation Reduction Act that has a 10 year horizon, trying to build out the EV battery supply chain in the US (and free trade agreement countries).  China has a 10 year lead on the US in the EV battery supply chain, so it will take at least that long to build out the US version.  There have been tremendous investments in battery facilities in the US over the past three years.  But reducing the cost of EVs to make them competitive with ICE vehicles must also be the job of the manufacturers and suppliers.  Without their support, EVs will continue to be niche vehicles.  We’ve known since the advent of EVs in the 2010s that turning over the US fleet will take decades, especially if we don’t sell many new EVs per year.  It will take even longer if the industry does not see any need to change.

🌟Let´s meet at @AABC Europe 2024 in Strasbourg on 14-16 May! 🌟 AABC, the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference, is where experts meet to discuss development, technology advancements, and market outlooks. This year, the event has a record number of attendees and offers more than 30 talks from leading OEMs and battery developers. “The automotive industry's electrification is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, and it's the battery technologists and innovators who hold the key to sustaining this momentum. Let´s collaborate to find joint solutions to drive the future of electric vehicles, says Vedran Kovacevic, Project Leader at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. ❗You will find Vedran Kovacevic and Magnus Ling from RISE in booth 703. Come and say hi!🙋♀️ ❓Would you like to book a meeting with Vedran or Magnus? Send an e-mail to vedran.kovacevic@ri.se, and he will arrange the details. #batteries #testing #safety #electrification https://lnkd.in/emzHGtR

Join our webinar on September 26 2024: "Navigating the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 for automotive applications"

Remaining agile in the constantly shifting manufacturing industry is key. Here is a guide for automotive manufacturers!

🔋 Revolutionary Intelligent Battery Integrated System (IBIS) Stellantis, in collaboration with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Saft, has developed a groundbreaking battery technology: the Intelligent Battery Integrated System (IBIS). After four years of research, IBIS is now ready for its debut. Key Features: 🛠️ Integrated Design: IBIS retains the same lithium cell chemistry but integrates the functions of the charger and inverter into the battery itself. This innovative approach makes the powertrain more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective. ⚡ Direct Power: The sophisticated control system generates an alternating current that can be directed straight to the electric motor, eliminating the need for an intermediate inverter and onboard charger. 🚗 Increased Efficiency: By simplifying the design, IBIS reduces overall weight, increases available cabin space, and lowers the total cost of the electric powertrain. 📅 Production Timeline: Stellantis plans to have this technology ready for production before the end of the decade. The systems have already been successfully tested on the bench. This revolutionary design promises to set a new standard in electric vehicle technology, enhancing performance while reducing costs and complexity. #BatteryInnovation #ElectricVehicles #SustainableTech #AutomotiveRevolution #CleanEnergy 🚗🔋🌍

For all who are involved in the transformation to E-mobility, I recommend the high-level talk of my colleagues Dr. Matthias Schubert and Stefan Heuer on the new EU Battery Regulation. And... for those who want to dive deeper into the EU Battery regulation, sign up for our #webinar on September 26: "Navigating the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 for automotive applications": https://lnkd.in/e49CiKg2

Rho Motion Live: Asia 2024 | The Asian EV market: Domestic domination and overseas expansion      “We’re moving from start up to scale up” We were joined this morning by Harald Schmid, CEO at Daimler Truck Asia who discussed their specific strategic plans within the Asian EV market, and the company’s “winning formula” for ZEV offerings. William Roberts, Automotive Research Lead at Rho Motion provided an EV market outlook, with a key focus on the Asian market and the EV production potential across the region. Some of the key discussion points:  • The role of hydrogen trucks  • Overcapacity from Chinese OEMs - can this be met by domestic demand?  • Potential of battery swapping technologies, and possible introduction of battery-as-a-service #RhoMotionLive #EVConference #EVBattery #BatteryRecycling #EnergyStorage
