“There simply isn’t enough talent in the U.S. right now,” Tang said. “It’s our job to push the technology forward and teach the industry about current problems, processes, and standards. Education is key.”
Learn how Lithium-ion Battery manufacturers can prevent battery fires.
Batteries pose chemical and physical hazards. Batteries can fail for many
reasons including short-circuiting, overcharging, or overheating. For Li-ion batteries, these failures can lead to dangerous propagations resulting in highly dangerous thermal runaway. To prevent battery fires, we must aim to understand how to prevent thermal
runaways. Quality control at every stage of battery manufacturing is an effective way to eliminate most defects and it is the responsibility of battery manufacturers to make the existing technology as safe as possible.
The Indiana Electric Vehicle Products Commission’s first report on Indiana’s EV products landscape puts our Hoosier state at the front of the pack for engaging industry.

The Automotive Industry initiated the beginning of a technical revolution in Indiana by cultivating research and pioneering products over the course of many decades. Although the local
automotive industry boom has grown immensely recently, Hoosier leaders have been developing the culture of innovation tediously with substantial attention to detail and rising trends.
We dive into the world of advanced battery technology and talk about the role competitive motorsports play in advancing battery technology.
In an interview Wrightsman commented that maritime
battery applications, indeed, have reached an off-the-shelf
status, but he still characterized the U.S. market as “pilot
scale”, at least compared to European and Asian markets.
Wrightsman said that the battery supply chain presents
challenges. Lithium costs have increased, and future demand
will add pricing pressures. Raw materials are available
today, but he expects supply risks by 2030. “If you
don’t change anything,” he noted, with particular reference
to the U.S. regulatory process, “we run risks of shortages.
We need domestic production.”

Most of the battery packs for research and testing come out of damaged or totaled hybrid vehicles, so Valvoline is extending their useful life while gaining more insight into how they operate, all before sending them off to be recycled.
