View moreCompanies that manufacture structural batteries include automakers like Tesla and GM as well as battery makers like BYD and Contemporary Amperex Technology. Some automakers partner up with battery makers to produce their battery packs. Examples include Volvo and Northvolt as well as BMW and ONE (Our Next Energy).
The move is seen as bold in the industry since most electric car makers are trying to protect the battery pack while Tesla is planning to use it as an integral structural part of its electric vehicles. Electrek obtained the first picture of one of the very first structural battery packs ever produced by Tesla.
This type of batteries is commonly referred to as “structural batteries”. Two general methods have been explored to develop structural batteries: (1) integrating batteries with light and strong external reinforcements, and (2) introducing multifunctional materials as battery components to make energy storage devices themselves structurally robust.
The technology behind electric vehicles is evolving quickly, and one of the most promising innovations is the structural battery pack. Structural battery packs are multifunctional materials that serve both for energy storage and structure. As a result, redundant structural elements can be removed, eliminating weight from other parts of the vehicle.
For structural batteries, the solid nature indicates that they can enhance not only the tensile and compressive properties of a battery, but also load-transfer between different layers and thus improve flexural properties.
However, the potential gain in energy density of externally reinforced structural batteries is limited by the additional mass of reinforcement and its mechanical properties, whereas integrated multifunctional structural components inside the battery ideally do not add extra weight to it.
