Charged EVs | Why pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes offer a better solution for electrical insulation in EV battery packs

Sponsored by Avery Dennison.

The electrical automobile (EV) market is predicted to develop quickly this decade. This newest Avery Dennison Efficiency Tapes white paper explores the usage of movies built-in with pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes in EV battery packs. The white paper units the demand expectations with key analysis forecasts, together with:

• Avicenne Power forecasts the EV market to develop from 2.3 million international gross sales in 2020 to 25.5 million gross sales by 2030, a CAGR of 27%

• Hybrids and plug-in hybrids are anticipated to account for one more 21 million automobiles bought. This development is pushed by altering shopper tastes, regulation and legislative motion such because the U.S. Inflation Discount Act

• By 2030, EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs would require 2 million MWh of battery energy. International battery manufacturing will develop to 2,800 GWH.

These insights bode nicely for producers of battery packs utilized in EVs and different eMobility purposes. But, vital engineering challenges stay, together with the necessity for high-performance dielectric safety options which might be cost-effective and extremely suitable with fashionable, compact battery pack designs.

As a result of this market development, there’s an rising demand for EV battery packs which might be dependable, secure and environment friendly. One of many essential design challenges dealing with producers throughout this time is the prevention {of electrical} arcing. Conventional electrical insulation options usually pressure EV battery producers to make trade-offs involving value, efficiency and mechanical properties. This white paper demonstrates how high-performance tapes supply not solely {the electrical} insulation batteries want however can present extra properties that make them a superior option to conventional electrical insulation supplies.
