Who makes EV battery box covers?

CSP is North America’s largest manufacturer and molder of composite materials. The company has produced more than 30 different composite battery-box covers for EVs in China and North America, including the Chevrolet Spark EV. The move from supplying battery box covers to fully assembled, multi-material battery enclosures is in full swing.

What are the components of a battery enclosure?

Is CSP moving from supplying battery box covers to fully assembled battery enclosures?

The move from supplying battery box covers to fully assembled, multi-material battery enclosures is in full swing. CSP technical specialists are prototyping 1.5 x 2-meter trays and covers that are “about the size of almost every vehicle manufacturer’s battery box,” noted Hugh Foran, CSP’s executive director of new business development.

What is a CSP battery box?

A cutaway of CSP’s battery box, which uses the supplier’s standard 50% vinyl ester grade of SMC. (CSP) A battery enclosure that features a single-piece, metal-reinforced composite tray and one-piece composite cover is a step closer to an electric vehicle (EV) production application.

Are composite battery enclosures better than metal?

With metal, it is far more challenging and costly to form battery enclosures into complex shapes, which means they must be produced in more pieces that take up more space. However, owing to their high design freedom and parts consolidation opportunities, composite enclosures can be designed into more efficient shapes that require less space.
