EV Battery Pack Concept
The SABIC-developed battery pack concept leverages the properties and strengths of thermoplastics to improve performance, reduce costs and weight, and support mass production. Highlights of the concept include:
Collaborative Innovation
SABIC customers, development partners and others across the value chain, from OEMs and tiers to tooling suppliers and testing agencies.
Through ongoing work with the industry, SABIC expects several large battery enclosures, molded with its thermoplastics, to be used in production EVs as early as 2024. One plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) model in China is already using SABIC PP compound instead of aluminum for its battery pack cover, providing weight savings, expanded design freedom, warpage control and other benefits.
Other EVs in production today around world are using several SABIC materials for components such as cell carriers and housings, battery modules and battery enclosures.
In addition to developing new materials to meet EV requirements, SABIC is working to enable technologies for large part manufacturing, joining and assembly, crashworthiness, battery thermal management, flame retardancy, electrical properties and performance testing.
