Cost remains a key barrier to EV adoption. Joe Stevenson, CEO at Anaphite, explains how dry coating of electrodes can help make batteries cheaper.
The production of lithium-ion cells for electric vehicles (EVs) is one of the great manufacturing challenges of our age. The challenge is great because of its industrial importance: automotive applications require a hundred times more cell capacity than established electronics markets. The battery is typically 30-40% of the cost of an EV and 80% of this cost is the cells. For EVs to gain greater market share it’s essential they become more affordable.
