To compare the flexural-rigidity values achieved by the different approaches, we assume that hypothetical versions of both types have the same outer dimensions and use the same type and quantity of structural and battery materials (Figure 2 A).The coupled structural battery uses a structural electrode and/or current collector, which is commonly a metal
The innovation Tesla is doing is NOT structural packs, almost every EV has that. Its Cell-to-Pack where the cells themselves take structural load and then that pack is structural. Yes there are other companies doing Cell-To-Pack, in fact, BYD was the first one. They have the Blade battery that works along the same principle.
As electric vehicles push advancements in efficiency gains, structural battery packaging is at the forefront for optimization. This drives the need to validate structural battery pack design, both in terms of life expectancy against design targets as well as crash test compliance and survivability.

A research group at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden is now presenting a world-leading advance in so-called massless energy storage – a structural battery that could halve the weight of a laptop, make the mobile phone as thin as a credit card or increase the driving range of an electric car by up to 70 percent on a single charge.
Laminated structural battery architecture. Structural batteries are hybrid and multifunctional composite materials able to carry load and store electrical energy in the same way as a lithium ion battery. In such a device, carbon fibres are used as the primary load carrying material, due to their excellent strength and stiffness properties, but

June 23, 2022: Guyana is to develop eight utility-scale solar and battery storage projects in the South American country with investment financing worth around $83 million, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) announced on June 17.
Structural battery packs are multifunctional materials that serve both for energy storage and structure. As a result, redundant structural elements can be removed, eliminating weight from other parts of the vehicle. They are said to offer "massless energy storage" because their effective weight is lower than the total weight of the cells
To realize a structural battery, two strategies are reported [3, 9, 10].The first strategy is to embed thin batteries between external reinforcements in a sandwich structure [[11], [12], [13]] cause the external reinforcements do not contribute directly to energy storage, the weight saving is limited in this design [10].These reinforced devices also suffer from premature

Although not intentionally designed for structural batteries, some of them showed potential applications in structural energy storage.
This type of batteries is commonly referred to as “structural batteries”. Two general methods have been explored to develop structural batteries: (1) integrating batteries with light and strong external reinforcements, and (2) introducing multifunctional materials as battery components to make energy storage devices themselves structurally robust.
The modernization of Guyana’s electricity grid is a crucial component of the country’s broader efforts to transform its energy sector and support sustainable economic development.
The practical application of rigid structural batteries relies on addressing two critical core challenges: achieving structural and electrochemical performance that aligns with the multifunctional efficiency design principle (i.e., η s + η d> 1) through advanced materials, technological development, and a rational battery design.
