Environment-friendly vehicles lithium-ion battery engineers began to focus on cost

As the hybrid and electric vehicles become increasingly close to the production of lithium-ion battery Laptop Battery safety concerns have begun to shift from the economic practicality.

In last Tuesday at the plug-in cars in a panel discussion at the meeting, several speakers said that once such an advanced battery to achieve mass production, significant cost reduction is possible.

Members of this advanced battery safety has not expressed concern over the battery in the past, consumer electronics products, there had been overheating and fires.

Johnson Controls-Saft Advanced Battery Systems for hybrid battery system of government affairs and external relations director Michael Andrew, said the company's goal is to Sony VGP-BPS3 battery lithium-ion battery packs cost-cutting by 50%.

He said, JCI-Saft battery materials into consideration not only the cost but also consider the battery mode of production. He said that the battery manufacturers can learn how other industries can be more efficient production of lithium-ion battery experience.

Andrew said, "We now have an opportunity to overhaul the production of these batteries.;" We think we can learn from other industries used in the process technology, to rapidly reduce costs. ;

Evenly matched with gasoline

He said, JCI's goal is to produce for the use of hybrid or electric vehicle Sony VGP-BPL2 battery battery packs, allowing consumers to spend and spend three years of the same gasoline engine.

Nissan North America manufacturing engineering and vehicle manufacturing engineering, said Mark Swenson, vice president of Nissan in 2012 to reduce the cost of type Leaf electric car plan involves manufacture of batteries and battery in the vehicle manufacturing plant will be assembled into battery packs.

Swenson said, "We plan to plant all day uninterrupted production to production facilities enable us to maximize the investment.; He said, Leaf North America, but Nissan plans to sell several models of electric vehicles.

A123 Systems Inc.'s Vice president of Business Development Ric Fulop said he believes that as the industry matures, the cost of the battery pack can be reduced by 9% Sony PCGA-BP71 battery per year. To make a stronger battery power can save some costs, while also optimizing production processes and the use of high-quality materials to cut other costs.

More Power

Dow Chemical Co.'s Global business development director of the Department of Ravi Ramanathan Sony PCGA-BP2V battery said that the cost of the battery power can also make a stronger and more efficient batteries, as well as quality control during production to be cut out.

Automobile manufacturers do not talk about hybrid and electric vehicle battery packs used in cost. However, some estimated to be Chevrolet Volt lithium-ion batteries used in the cost estimate of about 8,000 U.S. dollars.

Ramanathan said, "the high cost of the Sony PCGA-BP4V battery battery, you must come down.; He said that the initial cost may be high, because the car manufacturers of cars and batteries to over-designed to ensure that consumers do not appear on the technical loss of goodwill mechanical failure.
