The general area of EssEs’s planned activity is to develop detailed cell level data on current or near market technology across a meaningfully diverse number of manufacturers to allow a relative comparison between available technologies. The program will provide performance, life, abuse and consistency of manufacturing test data for member-selected systems in a private, independent third party laboratory format (nongovernmental). This will provide members with data required to assess the pertinent performance characteristics of various battery topologies, chemistries and manufacturers to assist in the selection of cells for a vehicular energy storage system. Additionally, the level of data and the detail in which it is provided will be sufficient to aid in the development of models, pack integration work and thermal management strategy development.
