Summary The battery is the most important component of electric vehicles, determining performance, range, vehicle packaging, cost and vehicle lifetime. The automotive industry is a UK success story, employing 814,000 people and turning over £77.5bn per year. The UK is home to Europe's largest automotive battery and EV manufacturer. Our automotive industry is committed to the transition from the internal combustion engine to electric vehicles, preserving and expanding jobs and prosperity. The UK will not succeed if it has to rely on Asian or US supply chains for batteries. It will not succeed by simply catching up with today's lithium batteries. We must leapfrog current technology by carrying out more effectively and at scale basic research in batteries and then translating it more seamlessly into innovation and manufacture. This is the ambition of the Faraday Challenge, announced and funded by government, with its three elements: the Faraday Institution (research), Innovate UK (development) and the Advanced Propulsion Centre (industrialisation). The Faraday Institution, in particular, must invest in the UK science and engineering base so that it drives innovation, delivering leading edge battery technology for Britain. We propose to establish the Faraday Institute headquarters (FIHQ) as an independent organization, based at Harwell, the centre of UK science, and with a satellite office at the National Battery Manufacturing Development Facility once completed. It will not belong to any University or group of universities, nor be aligned with particular companies. It will be a UK resource. The FIHQ will be governed by an independent board drawn from academia, industry and independents. It will contain an Expert Panel bringing together in one organisation the UK knowledge base in batteries. The Expert Panel will translate industrial needs for better batteries into specific research challenges and scope calls for proposals from the University sector to carry out research to meet these challenges. It will support intellectual leadership to the Research Projects within the universities, review the projects, advise the board on allocation and reallocation of resources and stop/start of projects. Dedicated personnel will work to ensure research with the greatest scope for exploitation is transferred to innovation and ultimately manufacture. Intellectual property will be owned by the universities but pooled, forming a portfolio of battery IP with a value greater than the sum of its parts. The headquarters will run a training programme. This will include are PhD cluster with the students placed in the universities alongside the FI Research Projects but also with a strong cohort ethos across the Faraday institution. Training for industry and government will be a strong element of the FIHQ activities. . By carrying out strategic research in batteries as a nationally managed portfolio and with greater scale and focus, we will not only enhance the quality and capacity of UK battery research, but also establish the UK as the go to place for leading battery technology. By doing so we will supporting the future UK manufacturing industry, jobs and prosperity.

总结 电池是电动汽车最重要的组成部分，决定着性能、续航里程、车辆封装、成本和车辆寿命。汽车行业是英国的成功典范，拥有 814,000 名员工，年营业额达 775 亿英镑。英国是欧洲最大的汽车电池和电动汽车制造商的所在地。我们的汽车行业致力于从内燃机向电动汽车的过渡，以保持和扩大就业和繁荣。如果英国必须依赖亚洲或美国的电池供应链，它就不会成功。仅仅靠追赶今天的锂电池是不会成功的。我们必须通过更有效、更大规模地开展电池基础研究，然后将其更无缝地转化为创新和制造，来超越当前的技术。这是法拉第挑战赛的雄心，由政府宣布并资助，其三个组成部分：法拉第研究所（研究）、创新英国（开发）和先进推进中心（工业化）。特别是法拉第研究所必须投资英国科学和工程基地，以推动创新，为英国提供领先的电池技术。我们建议将法拉第研究所总部 (FIHQ) 作为一个独立组织，设在英国科学中心哈韦尔，并在国家电池制造开发设施建成后设立一个卫星办公室。它不属于任何大学或大学集团，也不与特定公司结盟。这将是英国的资源。 FIHQ 将由来自学术界、工业界和独立人士的独立委员会管理。它将包含一个专家小组，将英国电池知识库汇集到一个组织中。专家小组将把工业对更好电池的需求转化为具体的研究挑战，并呼吁大学部门提出建议，开展研究以应对这些挑战。它将支持大学内研究项目的智力领导，审查项目，就资源的分配和重新分配以及项目的停止/启动向董事会提供建议。专门人员将致力于确保具有最大开发范围的研究成果转化为创新并最终转化为制造。知识产权将归大学所有，但会集中起来，形成电池知识产权组合，其价值大于各个部分的总和。总部将开展培训计划。这将包括博士生集群，学生与 FI 研究项目一起被安置在大学中，而且整个法拉第机构也具有强烈的群体精神。针对行业和政府的培训将是 FIHQ 活动的重要组成部分。 。通过将电池战略研究作为国家管理的组合，以更大的规模和重点进行，我们不仅将提高英国电池研究的质量和能力，还将把英国打造成领先电池技术的首选地。通过这样做，我们将支持英国未来的制造业、就业和繁荣。
