The rapidly growing deployment of Electric Vehicles (EV) put strong demands on the development of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) but also into its dismantling process, a necessary step for circular economy. The aim of this study is therefore to develop an autonomous task planner for the dismantling of EV Lithium-Ion Battery pack to a module level through the design and implementation of a computer vision system. This research contributes to moving closer towards fully automated EV battery robotic dismantling, an inevitable step for a sustainable world transition to an electric economy. For the proposed task planner the main functions consist in identifying LIB components and their locations, in creating a feasible dismantling plan, and lastly in moving the robot to the detected dismantling positions. Results show that the proposed method has measurement errors lower than 5 mm. In addition, the system is able to perform all the steps in the order and with a total average time of 34 s. The computer vision, robotics and battery disassembly have been successfully unified, resulting in a designed and tested task planner well suited for product with large variations and uncertainties.

This article explains how Tesla batteries are making electric vehicles (EVs) affordable for customers. Tesla’s battery revolution began when CEO Elon Musk declared that it would sell a mass-market EV for just $35,000. To produce battery packs cheaply enough to reach that price point, Tesla reengineered not only the production process, but also the factory in which the batteries are made. The Reno, Nev., Gigafactory is not yet operating at full capacity, but it is expected to produce 35 GW per year of lithium-ion batteries, about double the present-day global production. Tesla partnered with Panasonic to revamp the production process, and ended up redesigning the chemistry of the battery itself. The standard “18-650” cell format used thousands of less-expensive commodity cells, similar to lithium-ion batteries used in laptop computers. Tesla replaced individual safety systems built into each cell with an inexpensive fireproof system for the entire battery pack. Now, they have begun producing the new “2170” cell, which delivers higher density through an automated system developed with Panasonic to further reduce costs.

Electric vehicles have become a trend in recent years, and the lithium-ion battery pack provides them with high power and energy. The battery thermal system with air cooling was always used to prevent the high temperature of the battery pack to avoid cycle life reduction and safety issues of lithium-ion batteries. This work employed an easily applied optimization method to design a more efficient battery pack with lower temperature and more uniform temperature distribution. The proposed method consisted of four steps: the air-cooling system design, computational fluid dynamics code setups, selection of surrogate models, and optimization of the battery pack. The investigated battery pack contained eight prismatic cells, and the cells were discharged under normal driving conditions. It was shown that the optimized design performs a lower maximum temperature of 2.7 K reduction and a smaller temperature standard deviation of 0.3 K reduction than the original design. This methodology can also be implemented in industries where the battery pack contains more battery cells.
