What Automakers Are Missing Inside EV Batteries | Ep. 86 [Efrat Avnet Steinberg]

What if the biggest problem in electric vehicles is something manufacturers can’t even see? In this fascinating episode of Industry Ignited, Dr. Leeanne Aguilar interviews Efrat Avnet Steinberg, the CEO of INNER, a company pioneering breakthrough CT scanning technology for EV battery inspection. Together, they dive into the hidden defects impacting EV batteries, why traditional quality checks are missing critical failures, and how microscopic flaws inside battery packs can lead to recalls, warranty losses, safety risks, and even fires. Efrat explains how Inter is developing real-time battery imaging systems capable of operating directly on production lines, helping automakers identify problems before defective batteries ever reach consumers. The conversation also explores battery recycling, second-life energy storage systems, predictive maintenance, and the future of battery diagnostics across the entire EV lifecycle. Whether you’re passionate about electric vehicles, advanced manufacturing, energy storage, AI-driven diagnostics, or startup innovation, this episode offers a compelling look inside the technologies shaping the future of transportation and energy safety.
