BatteryMBA for EV Professionals

    Lead in Electric Vehicles with the full BatteryMBA

    The BatteryMBA is a broad battery value-chain programme, and it's the fastest way for EV engineers, OEM teams, charging-network leaders and automotive investors to gain the cross-disciplinary fluency that EV leadership now demands. Across 12 weeks you'll cover cell chemistry, pack and BMS engineering, supply chain, charging and second life, with dedicated EV case studies and a peer cohort of mobility practitioners.

    Why BatteryMBA for EV Professionals

    A focused curriculum delivering the technical depth and commercial context this segment demands.

    Cell to Pack Engineering

    Cell formats, module design, thermal management, and structural integration, taught alongside the wider battery context.

    Battery Management Systems

    BMS architecture, SoC/SoH algorithms, safety logic, and OTA strategies, grounded in cell-level fundamentals.

    EV Supply Chain

    From mine to OEM, the full upstream and midstream picture, framed within battery-industry economics.

    Charging Infrastructure

    AC, DC fast, MCS, V2G, and the economics of charging networks, taught by the same faculty covering BESS and grid topics.

    Second Life & Recycling

    Repurposing, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, and circular economics across the value chain.

    OEM & Tier-1 Strategy

    How carmakers and suppliers are restructuring around batteries, informed by the broader cell-manufacturing and BESS landscape.

    What You'll Take Away

    The BatteryMBA is not an EV-only course, it's a full battery value-chain programme that has trained engineers at major OEMs, charging network leaders, automotive investors, and consultants who wanted the wider context to lead in EV.

    Why EV leaders choose the full BatteryMBA, not an EV-only course

    Global EV sales passed 17 million units in 2024 and are tracking towards ~30 million by 2027, with BNEF and IEA forecasts converging on roughly 45% of new light-vehicle sales being electric by 2030. That growth is no longer a question of vehicle demand, it is a question of battery supply, chemistry mix, and software differentiation. LFP is now the dominant chemistry in volume Chinese models and is moving rapidly into European and North-American programmes; high-nickel NMC is being pushed into performance segments; and silicon-rich anodes plus solid-state are reaching pilot lines at multiple OEMs.

    The leaders winning in this market are rarely the ones who only understand EVs. They understand cell supply, BESS-driven chemistry roadmaps, gigafactory economics and recycling, because all of those forces shape EV pricing, availability and bankability. The BatteryMBA is built around that full value chain, with EV-specific case studies, projects and peers woven throughout.

    Cell-to-pack, structural batteries and the BMS that runs the car

    The programme walks through every layer of the EV battery: cell formats (21700, 4680, prismatic LFP, blade, pouch), module-vs-cell-to-pack-vs-cell-to-chassis architectures, thermal management (cold plates, immersion, refrigerant), structural integration, crash safety, and high-voltage system design.

    The BMS curriculum covers state-of-charge and state-of-health estimation, cell balancing, fault detection, contactor logic, ISO 26262 / ASIL-D functional safety, and the OTA pipelines that let modern EVs improve range, fast-charge curves and warranty exposure post-sale. EV sits alongside BESS, industrial and cell-manufacturing modules so you graduate with the full picture.

    Charging, second life and the rest of the EV value chain

    Vehicles do not exist in isolation. The programme covers AC and DC fast-charging standards (CCS1, CCS2, NACS/J3400, GB/T, MCS for trucks), the economics of public and depot charging networks, V2G and V2H opportunities, and the regulatory frameworks that govern them. Recycling and second-life modules cover hydrometallurgical vs pyrometallurgical routes, black-mass economics, repurposing for stationary storage, and the EU Battery Regulation's recycled-content thresholds, anchored in the cell-level fundamentals the BatteryMBA teaches up front.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much time do I need per week?
    Plan for roughly 2 to 3 hours per week for live lectures and office hours, or 4 to 5 hours per week if you also join the optional case study track.
    What happens if I miss a live session?
    Every live lecture is recorded and made available on the learning platform shortly after, so you can catch up on your own schedule. Office hours are also offered in multiple time zones each week, so if you miss one you can simply join another.
    Can I get an invoice for my employer?
    Yes. Many participants are sponsored by their employer. Once accepted, BatteryMBA can issue a pro forma invoice with your company's billing details so the organisation can process payment. EU business customers can provide a valid VAT ID to have the invoice issued under the reverse-charge mechanism.
