Evaluation of Materials and Concepts for Future Automotive xEV Batteries
Dr. Peter Lamp, Head, Research Battery Technology, BMW Group
- New mobility concepts are required to balance the individual need for mobility and the sustainable utilization of natural resources as well as the protection of the environment. Technology improvements are necessary that allow the transition towards mobility concepts based on renewable energies. Today the electrification of drive trains, ranging from hybrid vehicles to plug-in hybrids, and finally to pure electric vehicles, is the commonly accepted next step in this direction. BMW is strongly committed to this path. The electric energy storage is the key technology for electrification. Energy and/or power density of the storage system define the fuel reduction potential as well as the customer acceptance. In the last decades, the introduction of electric vehicles failed due to the lack of a suitable electric energy storage technology able to fulfill the automotive requirements. The introduction of Li-ion technology in the consumer market re-stimulated the development of electrified vehicles. To make it a success story, care has to be taken to fulfill the present and future customer expectations, in particular with regard to safety and reliability, performance and costs. One of the major factors for a high market penetration of electric vehicles is the ratio between driving range and costs. More than 90% of the world wide vehicle market falls in the price range below 50.000$; on the other hand, a driving range above 400 km is needed. That requires energy density targets above 250 Wh/kg or 400 Wh/l for a battery pack, with costs as low as 150 $/kWh. Different strategies are nowadays considered which enable a considerable increase in the electric range. These include the optimization of cell and electrode design, the introduction of novel cathode and anode materials for Li-ion cells, as well as the shift to alternative Post-Lithium-Ion technologies. Nevertheless, the impact of all these new approaches on lifetime and ageing still represents a critical issue. Considerable improvements must be obtained in this respect before a possible industrialization of the new generations of batteries for automotive application can be envisaged. This presentation will outline general design and subsequent development strategies from a car manufacturer point of view. In particular it will address open issues to be solved in the future development of electric energy storage technologies for automotive applications.
