Moving to cell-to-chassis architecture means significant changes to EV structures and materials, finds Nick Flaherty
Manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs) are placing increased emphasis on pack design optimisation. Moving from modules to packs and even to direct integration with the chassis can promote lighter weight, less space, higher energy density, and lower material and assembly costs.
