In automotive applications, SBCs aim to replace passive structural components<\/b> (such as floor panels or body members) with energy-storing structures, thereby reducing overall vehicle weight and improving efficiency. Unlike conventional electric vehicles, in which the battery pack and vehicle structure are separate systems, SBC technology integrates lithium-based energy storage directly into composite structural parts such as floor panels, chassis members, and body panels.<\/p>\n
