Manufacturing processes for e-Mobility require new knowledge and innovations from battery cell manufacturing and battery cell-to-module assembly, to manufacturing of rechargeable energy storage systems including fuel cells. Notable research efforts have been conducted to achieve high product quality, reduce production costs, reduce vehicle mass, increase energy densities/capacities and achieve fast charging capabilities.
