Global EV Advanced Materials & Thermal Management 2021

The EV market is thriving. Demand is soaring in Asia and beginning to take root in the rest of the world. But the greatest challenge to mass EV production and adoption is still the high cost of the vehicle and driving range with one charge.

The battery is a key element for both cost, range and performance, and the chemistry and cell levels are extensively discussed. However, everything else that goes into a pack is often overlooked, including materials and thermal management.

Developed after extensive conversations with EV manufacturers as well as the full spectrum of technology providers in the space, Automotive IQ is proud to launch the Global EV Advanced Materials & Thermal Management 2021 conference, taking place online on 26 & 27 January next year.

Bringing together EV manufacturers, including Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Motors, Ford Motor Company, amongst others, as well as battery research engineers, thermal management leads, technology providers and research institutes, to examine:  

• Strategies for fully integrating thermal management systems in EV platforms
• Advanced thermal interface materials to protect EV batteries/battery cells
• Thermal management for solid-state & beyond li-ion batteries
• Approaches to limit thermal runaway events: Materials & advance cooling systems
• Methods to manage the impact of ultra-rapid charging on thermal management of battery pack
• Approaches to optimize EV battery pack safety and reliability with thermal management and sealing
• Next-generation materials for packaging the battery & TMS
• Powertrain thermal management strategies
