Green Cubes exhibited at The International Battery Seminar & Expo, held in Orlando, Florida on March 20-23, 2023. This annual conference was an excellent event for anyone interested in the battery industry. The event featured a wide range of presentations from leading minds in the industry, including Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Tesla, universities, and national laboratories.
EVE was a proud sponsor of the event and introduced a number of new LFP Cells. LFP cells were the main topic of conversation at the event, and it is clear that they will become the dominant cell chemistry over the next few years. This reinforces Green Cubes choice for LFP cell in all forklift and material handling applications. Leading cell vendors such as E-One Molicell and others presented their new chemistries and innovations, including extremely high rate chemistries for EV and E-VTOL applications.
Overall, the Orlando International Battery Seminar was an excellent event for anyone involved in the battery industry. The event featured a wide range of presentations from leading minds in the industry, and made it clear that LFP cells will become the dominant cell chemistry over the next few years, with many innovations in Solid State and Lithium Metal chemistries still 5+ years from commercialization.
Another key theme of the expo was the need for manufacturing talent in the battery industry. With the rapid increase in the need for lithium batteries, and the various process and material improvements coming to market there is a strong need for more manufacturing skillsets, including operators, technicians, engineers, and operations.
