Lithium Ion Battery Market Challenges
The effective and efficient designs in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries for the electric vehicles is still a challenge for the OEMs. This is still a challenge because the industry lacks real data from merely a few million electric vehicles running on the road. The absence of expansive data and standard operating procedures from the automotive sector is refraining the lithium-ion battery market. This challenge could be tackled by the introduction of increased electric vehicles on the road.
The maintenance of voltage and circuit within safe levels and protection of the circuit at the time of transportation is also one of the challenges in the lithium-ion market. Bad handling of these batteries often results in damaged circuits owing to the sensitive parts incorporated in the lithium-ion battery. Improved packaging and optimized transportation could improvise the conditions in the lithium-ion market.
