Nuria Gisbert, General Manager of CIC energiGUNE, the Basque research center of reference in electrochemical and thermal energy storage and a member of the Basque Reseach & Technology Alliance-BRTA, has advised to the experts gathered at the SZ Tower in Munich, where the 2nd Conference “The Automotive Battery” was held, that “research and knowledge of the new batteries’ cells is essential in order to achieve an adequate integration of the energy storage system in the electric vehicle of the future”.
“The cell is the ‘black box’ of the battery pack in the electric cars that are going to be developed”, has warned the General Manager of CIC energiGUNE in front of renowned representatives of the automotive industry, such as Volkswagen or JSC Automotive. “Having the knowledge through ante-mortem and post-mortem research of the battery, as well as cell cycling, will allow us to generate advanced life expectancy models for the correct functioning of the battery and its optimal integration in the electric vehicle”.
