The battery enclosures of future electric vehicles need to meet multiple requirements as they effect the safety of the battery, the driver and occupants, and the performance of the vehicle. Besides weight and cost, crash and fire safety prerequisites are of high importance and continue to evolve with the industry’s changing EV architectures.
This presentation offers the latest research around requirements for battery enclosures and identifies the challenges and benefits of multimaterial designs. New concepts that employ a high degree of hybridization and structural integration through composite materials are also investigated in areas where they provide the highest benefits.
