Customer ServiceFor safety, the design of the battery housing can''t be considered isolated. The vehicle and battery concept must be planned together. In a vehicle with a highly rigid body, the battery housing must withstand less in the event of a collision. On the other hand, if the vehicle structure is softer, it needs a more stable battery housing. If the
Customer ServiceLife cycle assessments show that steel is the most sustainable material for battery housings. Up to two thirds less greenhouse gas emissions arise in the production of a steel battery housing compared with an aluminum design. During use, the carbon footprints of steel and aluminum battery housings are virtually identical.
In this study, Magna has shown that battery housings for electric vehicles can also be made from steel. The steel housing ensures basic protection of the battery cells and saves significant costs in large-scale production. The greatest advantage of steel construction is its low component costs.
As already described, the battery housing contributes to the rigidity of the body on a BEV which has its traction battery installed in the underbody. The two housing versions made of steel and aluminum were therefore both considered together with the body of the electric vehicle in the following simulations.
A detailed life cycle analysis has recommended steel as a sustainable material for electric car battery housings. Up to two-thirds fewer greenhouse gas emissions are generated in the production of a steel battery case compared to the production of battery cases made of aluminum.
“We have a high cost advantage – simply because of the material”, Patrick Tlauka compares battery housings made of aluminum with the selectrify ® battery housing: “For a comparable weight, the cost of aluminum is three times that of steel”. More range with steel housing?
A soft, deep-drawing steel was selected for the cover and tray of the steel battery housing to achieve the required formability for production. Both good formability and increased strength after forming are crucial for the base plate of the steel version in order to meet the requirement for underride protection.
