WMG Talks: Batteries Not Included... Yet

Description

We’ve all heard a lot of talk around electric vehicles recently – they could play an enormous role in cleaning up our air compared with petrol and diesel vehicles – and the forecast is that there will be more and more of them on the road. So how are we going to produce enough batteries and who is going to sit there placing the thousands of cells per car in the right order?
Rohin tells us about the successes of his research and the AMPLIFII project, featuring batteries for vehicles designed to drive for endurance or for speed, with incredible electric sports cars. He shows us how robots can be used to assemble and weld the cells into batteries and how the future of battery manufacturing could make all the difference in terms of seeing electric vehicles being rolled out.
