High Energy, Fast Charging Batteries for EV Applications Workshop

"High Energy, Fast Charging Batteries for EV Applications” Workshop hosted via WEBEX on Tuesday, October 26th (11:00 AM to 4:30 PM ET) and Thursday, October 28th (12:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET). Day 1 of the workshop was immediately followed by a virtual networking session hosted on Gatherly (4:30 to 5:30 PM ET).

The primary objective of this workshop was to solicit input from a cross-section of the battery research community and industry to inform development of a potential funding opportunity announcement (FOA) on this topic. The potential program would aim to achieve a minimum performance level, AFTER 500 capacity turnovers, equivalent to 450 Wh/kg and 80% charging in 15 minutes or less. The workshop included interactive “breakout” sessions involving all participants on both days.
