Life Cycle of Lithium-Ion Electric Vehicle Batteries
The life story of a battery is a complex one that spans numerous countries around the globe before finally “retiring” to less intensive jobs, or even being recycled into completely new cells.
LION Smart is an innovative development service provider for OEMs and suppliers in the automotive and other industries. Together with our partners, we strive for battery technology innovation and sustainability in all aspects of our business.
The life story of a battery is a complex one that spans numerous countries around the globe before finally “retiring” to less intensive jobs, or even being recycled into completely new cells.
The road to our current state of battery knowledge has been a long one, and actually began over 200 years ago!
In the last 10 years the electric vehicle (EV) industry has seemingly exploded. Companies all over the world have started pouring billions into research and development, but the first electrically powered cars didn’t just spring into existence during the 21st century.

Zug, 4 February, 2021 – Shareholders of LION E-Mobility AG today confirmed the amendment of the company’s Articles of Association at the Extraordinary General Assembly held today in Zug, Switzerland.
Zug, 04 February 2021 – Ad-hoc: LION Smart GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of LION E-Mobility AG and developer of electrical energy storage and lithium-ion battery system technology, has received a development order for battery integration. The client is a US-based leading global component manufacturer for the commercial vehicle industry; the name of the customer was not disclosed.
Zug, 1 February 2021 – A consortium of companies consisting of Evonik, Forward Engineering, LION Smart, Lorenz Kunststofftechnik, and Vestaro has developed a brand-independent, cost-effective battery concept for electric vehicles. Thanks to lightweight construction, the weight of the battery has been reduced by around ten percent compared with other commonly used material combinations – without any loss of mechanical characteristics. The entire concept was successfully tested for suitability for series production and safety under extreme conditions. Currently, three energy configurations are offered that compete with current battery models on the market in terms of energy density, safety and cost.
Zug, 29 January 2021 – LION E-Mobility AG subsidiary LION Smart GmbH, a developer of electrical energy storage systems and lithium-ion battery system technology, has delivered battery packs to be used in a 400V system for a North American customer. The BMW i3 batteries can be adapted for various types of buses, trucks and public transit vehicles, with possible energy capacity ranging from 84 – 252 kWh depending on the number of packs and configuration.
Zug, 20 January 2021 – LION Smart GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of LION E-Mobility AG, developer of electrical energy storage systems and lithium-ion battery system technology based in Garching, Germany, has received an order with a total volume of EUR 26 million from its Canadian customer for the supply of battery storage systems. Together with other expected orders that are still being negotiated, LION Smart is expecting a positive financial year. These figures will largely be reflected in a similar way in the relevant key figures of LION E-Mobility AG.
Garching near Munich – In cooperation with partners in the LiBAT consortium, LION Smart has successfully tested its highly innovative AC battery system, demonstrating a power performance that is sufficient to maintain level flight for a manned glider. The lightweight, compact, and highly-integrated battery rotated an electric motor with propeller attached in a lab setting. The advanced LiBAT technology can be applied to a broad range of applications in the transport sectors, taking a large step towards a more sustainable future.
