AI-Driven Battery and Energy Optimization to Increase Electric Vehicle Range and Charging Speed

transportPilotedTRL 6

Imagine if your car knew exactly how you drive and how the weather affects your battery, then adjusted itself to save power. It's like having a smart coach that looks at the road and charging stations to make sure you don't run out of juice. This tech makes batteries last longer and charge faster by using real-world data instead of just guesses.

The business problem

What needed solving

Electric vehicles suffer from limited autonomy and slow charging, which hinders mass adoption. Current battery systems often ignore individual driver behavior and external environmental factors.

The solution

What was built

A modular Battery Management System (BMS), AI-based battery state estimation algorithms, and a cloud-based data preprocessing infrastructure using Docker.

Who can put this to work

Automotive Manufacturing
enterprise
Target: EV Manufacturer

If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with short driving ranges — this project developed a modular Battery Management System (BMS) and AI algorithms that reduce energy consumption by more than 10%. This allows for smaller batteries or longer range for the same battery size.

Energy Infrastructure
mid-size
Target: Charging Station Operator

If you are a charging station operator dealing with inefficient power delivery — this project developed smart data collection systems and charging interface optimizations that decrease charging time by at least 10%. This increases the number of vehicles your stations can serve daily.

Fleet Management
any
Target: Logistics Company

If you are a logistics company dealing with unpredictable EV downtime — this project developed a performance and consumption model specific to individual vehicles and drivers. This enables more accurate route planning and reduces operational risks.

Frequently asked

Quick answers
