In August 2009, President Barak Obama unveiled an unprecedented investment as part of a massive, $2.4-billion effort to accelerate the manufacturing and deployment of hybrid electric vehicles and new-generation batteries and to save or create thousands of jobs. The goal is to get 1 million plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) on the road by 2015. The University of Michigan-Dearborn has partnered with Chrysler to participate in this historical effort. Large deployment of electrified vehicles will rely on the success of many innovations, including batteries. There are key obstacles in battery cell manufacturing and pack integration, including safety and life. This talk will look at the recent developments in batteries, controls, and approaches to address battery and control related issues pertaining to the large deployment of electrified vehicles
