Problem Statement
Some of the electric vehicles currently available on the market or under development have fundamentally different approaches to the construction of the battery pack and thus to the cell size used. Large German OEMs have agreed on a VDA standard that leads to very large form factors of the individual battery cells, while other very successful manufacturers rely on small round cells in large numbers.
Due to the complexity of the issue (electrical, thermal and safety requirements, but also production requirements), there is a need for a computer-aided selection of the optimal cell size for an electric vehicle. The result can be an ideal cell size depending on the requirements, with which a more efficient and cost-effective battery pack can be developed according to the requirements. The question is to be answered independently of cell shape factors that are already available.
But the fundamental question of whether large or small cells are the right way to go in electromobility should also be clarified.
Objective
