Other than the current preference for Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (EV), Mathew Borst at Keysight Technologies gives the low-down on the pros and cons of alternative battery technologies and solutions for EVs.
The future of Electric Vehicles is underpinned by the development of EV battery technologies and solutions.
The automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental transition from internal combustion towards electrified powertrains.
This progression is currently going through some growing pains, but development of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) battery technologies continues to progress unabated.
Every week, news on solid-state, sodium-ion, or metal-air battery advancement is released.
Will one of these be the solution that catapults EVs to being the dominant market choice, or could it be a multitude of these solutions?
Lithium-ion is the current preferred choice of automakers for EV batteries, but it faces multiple limitations in its use in vehicles.

The new Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM-C400 and AM-C550 A4 colour multifunction printers will be available for sale in Singapore by May 2024.
The Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM-C400 and AM-C550 colour multifunction printers is a new line of energy-efficient and compact mid-range A4 printers that optimises office layouts without having to compromise on productivity.
The introduction of the new inkjet printer is aligned with Epson’s sustainability commitment and follows the phasing out of its laser printers in Southeast Asia at the end of 2023.
This new range of business inkjet printers aims to provide an equally efficient and affordable alternative to laser printing by incorporating innovative solutions and compact design into the lineup.
With fast print speeds of 40 and 55 pages per minute, even in duplex mode, these new models are the A4 counterparts to their A3 siblings: the Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM-C4000 and AM-C5000 which were introduced in early 2023.

The electric vehicle (EV) battery is one of the critical automotive technologies that have successfully scaled to support the e-mobility boom. Hwee Yng Yeo at Keysight Technologies shares her insights on ensuring quality of EV batteries from blueprint to production – in this Part 2 of a two-part commentary.
* Check out Part 1 here.
Design and test for battery cells and high-power battery packs are important in ensuring the quality of EV batteries from blueprint to production.
Once a new battery cell design is ready, it enters the mass production step, which is evolving rapidly.
According to a McKinsey report, if demand for battery cells continues to increase at 30% annually, the global market will need another 90 gigafactories, as of current capacity, to support vehicle electrification over the next decade.
Cell cycling and aging are the most time-consuming stages of the complex battery cell manufacturing process.
As the Americas and Europe catch up with China and Korea to manufacture electric vehicle batteries closer to their end markets, billions of dollars are poured into ramping up gigafactory production, which is a complex process, as illustrated above.

The electric vehicle (EV) battery is one of the critical automotive technologies that have successfully scaled to support the e-mobility boom. Hwee Yng Yeo at Keysight Technologies shares key design considerations for EV battery design in Part 1 of this two-part commentary.
The average EV battery pack costs US$153 / kWh in 2022 – a 90% price drop over a 15-year period. Looking forward, the automotive industry expects demand for Lithium-ion cells to grow by some 33% annually to 4,700 GWh by the end of this decade.
More affordable EV batteries will help bring about price parity between an EV and internal combustion engine car sooner rather than later.
However, keeping a check on battery costs is a constant challenge because of rising raw materials, supply chain, and energy costs, with cell manufacturing being an energy-intensive process.
Technological innovations play a big role in contributing to the inverse relationship between plummeting prices and soaring demand for EV batteries.
