China is outpacing everyone when it comes to electromobility - people have been writing and talking about it for months and we are getting to the bottom of this theory. Together with our guests Dr. Jan Richter (Batemo) and Sascha-André Voglgsang (A2MAC1), we take a look behind the scenes, or rather inside the e-cars and batteries. In which areas are Chinese car manufacturers really better than Mercedes, BMW and VW? What are the realistic ranges of e-cars compared to the manufacturers' specifications? What are the actual energy densities of the cars' battery cells and battery packs? Which cell chemistry is used where - for example, are German OEMs now also using LFP cells alongside China? A2MAC1 has already analyzed over 200 electric cars and conducts competitive analysis or benchmarking in the field of electromobility. This involves examining the vehicle from the powertrain down to the level of individual parts and also compiling findings on the supply chain, costs and sustainability. In the end, optimization potential and new market trends can be identified. Batemo analyzes batteries - for any given cell, they create a digital twin, i.e. a model on the computer. On the one hand, they work together with cell manufacturers who want to optimize their cell development and, on the other hand, with customers of these cells, for example car manufacturers who buy the cells for their electric cars and want to have them independently tested and analyzed beforehand. This has resulted in a large database that lists all the key performance indicators of many battery cells on the market: www.batemo.com/de/products/batemo-cell-explorer/.
