The Battery Show & EV Tech Expo North America 2025 returns to Detroit this October with a technical program built around the engineering challenges keeping battery and EV professionals busy. Over 130 hours of expert education spans five tracks covering battery design, solid-state scale-up, supply chain resilience, and safety standards, addressing practical problems engineers face moving from lab to production.

For engineers working on next-generation chemistries, the solid-state manufacturing track offers relevant content as the industry tackles scaling these technologies beyond prototypes. Sessions cover manufacturing process challenges, yield optimization, and quality control methods specific to solid-state systems. Battery design sessions address thermal management strategies, cell architecture decisions, and BMS integration challenges that impact performance and safety in real applications.

The expo floor provides hands-on access to equipment, materials, and components from over 1,300 exhibitors spanning the complete supply chain. Engineers can evaluate precision welding systems, automated assembly equipment, advanced materials, and testing instrumentation. This direct access proves valuable when making sourcing decisions or assessing new technologies for existing production processes.

Rapid-fire presentation sessions group 15-minute technical talks by business innovation areas, allowing engineers to quickly scan emerging technologies and identify relevant developments. These often reveal practical solutions to manufacturing problems or highlight cost reduction strategies successfully implemented elsewhere.

The timing proves strategic as regulatory frameworks evolve around battery safety, transportation, and end-of-life management. Technical sessions decode recent updates to testing standards and certification requirements, providing actionable compliance guidance particularly crucial as global supply chains adapt to varying regional requirements.

Detroit’s location and concentration of automotive engineering expertise makes this event valuable for vehicle integration challenges. Networking extends beyond supplier meetings to include direct access to OEM engineering teams, research institutions, and startups developing breakthrough technologies.
Registration includes free expo access, with conference passes covering all technical sessions.
