In this episode we chat to Jacqui Murray, the Deputy Challenge Director of Faraday Battery Challenge at Innovate UK, which will make the UK the go-to place for world-leading in vehicle battery technology by 2027. Innovate are funding research, innovation and scale-up facilities in the UK for the electrification of future vehicles and other applications that support an electrified economy, with the aim of lowering carbon and improve air pollution while creating new opportunities and industries.

Jacqui is a specialist in automotive steels, regulation and transformational, and in this episode we talk about the predictions for the growth of Electric Vehicles and UK manufacturing, and what the UK Government is doing, particularly for the Faraday Battery Challenge. We also talk about the supply of critical raw materials for the battery industry and the potential insufficient mineral reserves for the battery industry. We cover what the government is doing about the recycling of electric vehicles and the recovery of critical raw materials, and what the possible impact of Covid-19 will be on raw material supplies for electric vehicles.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Universities and other professionals have come together to not just provide solutions, but to identify tomorrow’s problems. By pooling resources and knowledge, Innovate are leading the charge.
The general assumption was that electric vehicle adoption would be a gradual process. The environmental movement has hurried this adoption along at remarkable pace, which has led to further regulation, and a deficit in raw materials.
Battery technology is due to change rapidly, with many new iterations of highly efficient materials being adopted in new and innovative ways. This will inevitably lead to a supply and demand issue.
The technology of electric vehicles is exciting and explosive in terms of appeal, but it important that we remember the reasons behind its purpose.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Faraday is actually a mission’

‘Don’t forget that we’re trying to catch up with a hundred years of the combustion engine’

‘It’s not cars, but all forms of transport that are headed towards electrification’

‘All of this takes huge, joined-up thinking. What I love is the overwhelming challenge'
