Abstract
As the world undergoes a monumental shift toward electrification, the demand for batteries has become all encompassing. While cost, performance, and safety have traditionally dominated the conversation, there is an urgent need to introduce sustainability into the equation. This is essential not only for reducing the carbon footprint but also for ensuring a reliable supply chain. This presentation is dedicated to exploring two battery design concepts known as “Eco Design” and “Twin Battery”, both developed by IAV. These innovations are driven by the goal of minimizing the environmental footprint associated with batteries in electric vehicles using sustainable options. The first of these initiatives takes a comprehensive approach towards preparing batteries for a second life, while the latter delves into the realm of sodium-ion cell chemistries in conjunction with LFP (lithium-iron phosphate) solid state batteries.
