Working in a global industry while building out local capacity
We are back for another episode of The Battery Podcast, wrapping up our conversation with Roger Aktins of Electric Vehicles Outlook. In part one we discussed some of the challenges impacting automotive OEMs in the transition to electric vehicle manufacturing as well as some of the interesting business models the transition has let emerge. Whether it is automotive companies becoming battery companies or battery companies becoming energy providers at a grid-scale. But in part two we are delving into the coming requirements for the industry as well as how businesses are already adjusting to a new status quo. China may have a head start on battery development and EVs, but as you’ll hear there are some opportunities for European and North American automakers to get back some of this ground. What you’ll learn:The industry-wide impact of battery passport regulationsFinding value by adding value in a global supply networkWhy investing locally will be critical in finding a foothold in a market increasingly dominated by Chinese manufacturers

Grappling with the evolving battery production landscape around the world
The Battery Podcast is back for another two-part discussion. This time we have a special guest to give us a wider view of what is happening in the world of batteries. From the geopolitical pressures of manufacturing to the work that goes into developing batteries from raw material. I’m your moderator Nick Finberg and I’m joined by our host and expert Puneet Sinha. The two of us sat down with Roger Aktins of Electric Vehicles Outlook. In this first half of our discussion, we’ll dive into the changing role of government in the battery manufacturing space as well as some of the hurdles OEMs are dealing with in terms of the supply chain. Let’s listen in and answer some questions about the battery industry. What you’ll learn:The pressure on OEMs globally to compete with Chinese automakers and battery manufacturersThe value of multiple battery chemistriesThe impact of state-level investment in emerging technologies

Landing a successful electric aircraft program
It’s a new season of the Battery Podcast and a new industry to talk about. In the first half of our discussion with Todd Tuthill – VP of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine Industries at Siemens Digital Industries Software – we dove into the electrification of air transportation and the challenges it brings. But beyond the technological challenges of electrified aircraft, there are durability and safety implications that still need to be fleshed out to break into the mainstream. In part two we are covering some of the more specific challenges battery electric aircraft bring to design and manufacturing, from safety measures to product validation. We’ll go beyond battery applications for Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (EVTOL) craft as small delivery vehicles such as those from Zipline. What you’ll learn:The possibility of solid-state batteriesBuilding out an aircraft architecture with batteries in mindLong-term goals of electric aircraftThe value of digitalization for these emergent aircraft
