China is leaving everyone behind when it comes to electromobility - it has been written and talked about for months and we are getting to the bottom of this theory. With our guests Dr. Jan Richter (Batemo) and Sascha-André Voglgsang (A2MAC1), we take a look behind the scenes, or rather into the electric cars and batteries. In which areas are Chinese car manufacturers really better than Mercedes, BMW and VW? What are realistic #ranges of electric cars compared to the manufacturer's specifications? What are the actual energy densities of the battery cells and battery packs in the cars? Which cell chemistry is used where - for example, in addition to #China, are German OEMs now also using LFP cells? A2MAC1 has already analyzed over 200 #electric cars and conducts competitive analysis or so-called benchmarking in the field of electromobility. The vehicle is examined from the drive train down to the level of individual parts and findings on the supply chain, costs and sustainability are also compiled. At the end, optimization potential and new market trends can be identified. Batemo analyzes batteries - they create a digital twin for any cell, i.e. a model on the computer. On the one hand, they work with cell manufacturers who want to optimize their cell development and on the other hand with buyers of these cells, for example car manufacturers who buy the cells for their electric cars and want them to be independently tested and analyzed beforehand. This has resulted in a large database that lists all the important key figures for many battery cells on the market: https://www.batemo.com/de/products/ba... In the Geladen podcast, Patrick Rosen and Daniel Messling and their guests scientifically examine the topics of energy transition, electromobility, electric cars and batteries. The podcast is produced by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
