JAKARTA - The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) continues to strive to master key technologies to develop lithium batteries that are compatible with electric vehicles. "So that the lithium battery produced by BRIN research can be integrated into electric vehicles, the key technology must be mastered," said Head of the BRIN Advanced Materials Research Center Wahyu Bambang Widayatno in a statement in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, September 29. The key technology is to design battery and material cells and create system management of batteries to match electric vehicles. The lithium battery developed by BRIN aims to meet the demand for batteries with a large capacity and relatively small size compared to conventional batteries, taking into account aspects of security and prices. Wahyu said batteries are the main components of electric vehicles so that in order to make quality batteries, a series of research activities related to materials, system management, and electronics are needed. In addition, BRIN also conducts research to speed up battery charging times. Previously, the Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi encouraged the industrial sector, universities, and all stakeholders to jointly collaborate to create electric vehicles at a more economical price. <quo; If the price of electric motorcycles is 16 million with attractive motor conditions and good battery quality, this will be very attractive to the public,” said the Minister of Transportation when opening the Indonesia Electric Motor Show 2022 (IEMS 2022) in Jakarta, last Wednesday. He said three things that must be pursued to create more economical electric vehicles are to make batteries at competitive prices but to have high cruising range, produce domestic product motorcycles and increase battery charging stations.
