The growing market penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing the need for fast and efficient public charging. Research has shown that 80% battery charging at an approximate 15-minute break is convenient to most consumers and provides a similar experience to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. To achieve this and to minimize electrical losses, the industry is moving towards high voltage charging of 400V and 800V for passenger cars

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is turning its attention to manufacturing processes that use fluorination. In a letter issued by the EPA in 2022, the agency stated that the presence of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) formed as a byproduct in containers may be a violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Fluorination has been used as an industry standard to build a barrier technology against evaporative emissions for high density polyethylene (HDPE) fuel tanks, yet there are better permeation solutions available in the marketplace.
