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

Special Act - as well as hybrid and electric vehicles are becoming increasingly close to the production of lithium-safety concerns ion batteries have started to move from economic practice.

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

Members of the Security advanced batteries has not expressed concern over the battery in the past, electronic consumer products, there had been overheating and fire.

Johnson Controls-Saft Advanced Battery Systems for Hybrid Battery System of Public Affairs and External Relations director Michael Andrew, said that the company’s goal is to lithium-ion IBM ThinkPad T41 battery packs cost reduction of 50%.

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

Andrew said: “We now have an opportunity to review the production of these batteries.” We believe we can learn from other industries used in process technology, to rapidly reduce costs. ;

Par with gasoline

He said the objective of JCI is to produce for the use of batteries or hybrid electric vehicles, allowing consumers to spend and spend three years of the same gasoline engine.

Nissan North America manufacturing engineering and manufacturing engineering of the vehicle, said Mark Swenson, vice president of Nissan in 2012 to reduce the cost of sheet map of electric car involves the manufacture of batteries in the factory manufacture of vehicles will be assembled into Dell Inspiron 6400 battery packs.

Swenson said: “We intend to plant every day without interruption of 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. Vice President, Business Development Ric Fulop said he believes the industry matures the cost of the hp F4812A battery can be reduced by 9% per year. To perform a battery of higher power can save some costs, while also optimizing production processes and use high quality materials to reduce other costs.

More power

Dow Chemical Co. ’s Global Business Development Director of the Department of Ravi Ramanathan said that the cost of energy the toshiba PA3399U-1BRS battery can also make a stronger battery and more efficient, and quality control during production to be cut.

Automakers do not speak about the battery and hybrid electric vehicles used in packaging costs. However, according to some, to be Chevrolet Volt lithium-ion batteries used in estimating costs of approximately $ 8,000.

Ramanathan said, “the high cost of the apple A1185 battery, you must descend.; He said that the initial cost may be high, as automakers and car batteries for most designed to ensure that consumers do not appear on the technical loss of goodwill of mechanical failure.
