Lithium-ion batteries for hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicles
A. Perner; J. Vetter BMW Group, Munich, Germany
Abstract
This chapter discusses lithium-ion battery chemistries, designs, and trends for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and battery electric vehicles (EVs). The main development focus of HEV and EV batteries is on higher energy densities, safety, lifetime, and costs. On the cell level, different cell formats and cell chemistries are discussed and the general battery pack design is highlighted. Expected future trends and developments for cathode chemistry 5 V materials and for silicon alloy anodes are discussed. For battery packs, the major focus is on lightweight construction and cost-efficient electric and ...
