As automakers push for more powerful EV charging to deliver faster charging speeds, battery packs could be exposed as a weak point. Frequent DC fast charging isn’t great for the long-term health of EV batteries, and older batteries are less able to sustain aggressive charging. As with so many other things in today’s world, researchers wanted to see if AI could be a solution.
In a new paper published by IEEE, researchers from Chalmers University of Technology developed a “health-aware” charging algorithm that can read a battery’s state of health and adapt charging behavior accordingly as the battery ages. In simulations, this reduced projected degradation enough to prolong a battery’s usable life by about 23% while maintaining the same charge times as new batteries, researchers claim.
