SABIC advances thermoplastic solutions for critical EV battery technologies

Compared to conventional battery pack designs using traditional materials such as aluminum and other metals, SABIC’s EV battery pack concept using lightweight thermoplastics can potentially realize 30 to 50 percent weight savings per component, improve energy density, simplify the assembly process, reduce costs, improve thermal control and safety and enhance crashworthiness.With automakers accelerating their shift to an all-electric future, SABIC continues developing thermoplastic-based solutions and harnessing its expertise to help the industry optimize the performance of electric vehicles (EVs). Most notably, the company’s automotive business has developed a plastic-intensive EV battery pack concept using a systems-engineering approach, which underscores the value of lightweight plastics to address critical industry needs for flexible design, enhanced performance, greater safety and improved economics.
