Forty-five is a number to remember. One figure, representing the cost of batteries, is slated to continue its decline as battery adoption accelerates. The other, representing what consumers pay or will pay for electricity, will likely continue to increase.
There are many parallels between the battery and semiconductor industries, and, thus, lessons to be learned for the future. Incumbent lithium-ion battery manufacturers are scaling manufacturing at an unprecedented pace. In 2023, software will increasingly become the key to advance the state of the battery...
WHY IS FUEL GAUGING DIFFICULT IN LiFePO4 (LFP) BATTERIES?
LFP batteries are attractive for a number of reasons. Yet in return for these benefits, they suffer from lower energy density, approximately half to two-thirds that of NMC- or NCA-based batteries. Energy density is a fundamental property that impacts driving range in electric vehicles.
George Gianarikas, senior research analyst at Baird covering Quantumscape (NYSE: QS), asked the company’s CEO, Jagdeep Singh, on its Q1 2022 earnings call about “the kind of role software analytics play in the offering” that the company will give to OEMs.
