Tesla uses a similar technology, Cell-to-Chassis (CTC.) Incorporating battery cells directly into the car’s structure using a battery chassis significantly reduces the vehicle’s overall weight. It creates additional space that bulky battery packs would otherwise occupy.
The cells become energy-storing and structurally supporting, while the chassis becomes structurally supporting and cell-protecting. This effectively cancels out the weight of the cell casing, turning it from dead weight into something valuable to the structure of the vehicle.”
The direct adherence of cells to the vehicle’s body streamlines assembly, making it quicker and requiring fewer materials. This innovation transforms the cell casing from merely additional weight to a critical component that contributes to the vehicle’s structural integrity, thereby enhancing its efficiency and performance.
Chinese EV leader BYD recently pioneered cell-to-body (CTB) EV battery technology. CTB integrates the battery cells directly into the vehicle’s structure rather than housing them in a traditional battery pack.
Tesla’s solution adds a strengthening function for the adhesive, making the whole battery load-bearing. McTurk explains: “Integrating cells into the chassis allows the cells and the chassis to become multi-purpose. The cells become energy-storing and structurally supporting, while the chassis becomes structurally supporting and cell-protecting.
According to Frost at Sprint Power, “the commitment by most [manufacturers] to an EV-only future in conjunction with more integrated designs, such as cell-to-chassis, will lead to significant improvements in the overall design and performance of EVs.” While cell-to-chassis tech is undoubtedly the next step with EVs, it is not a panacea.
