Building Safer EV Battery Systems with Junhan Tao

About this Episode

Can an EV battery cooling system stop thermal runaway?

On Beyond the Competition, Junhan Tao explains why cooling systems cannot stop the chemical reactions occurring during thermal runaway, but can still help protect neighboring battery cells and reduce the risk of thermal propagation.

It's an important distinction for Formula SAE EV teams designing and developing their electric race cars.
