Workshop A
The basis for a breakthrough of EV: An advanced charging infrastructure
9:00 – 12:00
Dr. Marcus Groll, A powerful and intelligent charging infrastructure for EVs will be a prerequisite for the broad penetration of EVs.
Manager This charging infrastructure should allow customers to extend their driving range by offering a quick and comfortable
OEM-Cooperations recharging of the battery at convenient places like parking lots of shopping malls, in city centres, and also at home.
E-mobility, Such offers will significantly reduce the barrier to buy and drive an electric vehicle. To meet these requirements several

Thomas Roehrl, Opposite to a combustion engine, an electric motor is working in an excellent range of efficiency. This basically
Manager Vehicle positive aspect has the disadvantage that only little heat, generated by motor power dissipation, is available to warm
E/E Architecture, the interior cabin. A simple approach to overcome this problem is to assemble an electric heater (PTC) into the vehicle.
Continental But this again consumes very valuable energy from the energy storage system on board. As a result, we can see from
Automotive GmbH, the first feedback from electric vehicle test fleets that drivers complain about significantly reduced driving range in
Germany winter. The target of the workshop is, to discuss this problem and to find new entries in corresponding vehicle
structures.
Passive (mechanical) measures to reduce needed heating power
Electrified side aggregates (e.g. coolant water pump)
Which voltage rail to use best for high power side aggregates (12V, 400V)?
Solution range extender and solar panel?
Reflection of several power needs
Can different heat sources (e-motor, battery) be summed-up?
Workshop C
Lithium iron phosphate batteries for electric vehicles
13:00 – 16:00
George Paterson, Not all customers know exactly what they want a battery to do other than propel a vehicle 100kms. This part of the
Engineering Sales workshop will discuss why it is important to specify a battery correctly to ensure you get the performance you
Manager, require. Furthermore we will focus on the supplier business: There are many cell suppliers out there, but how do
Axeon Ltd., UK you choose the right one? What are the important features of the cells and the suppliers you need to know about?
Having now specified your battery and chosen the cells what are the key battery construction features to ensure
its performance, safety and reliability over its life.
The outcome will be to have checklist tools for each of the above topics that can be used by the participants.
