Smart AI gives electric vehicle batteries 23% longer life—without increasing the charging time

Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now developed a new AI method that adapts fast charging to the health of the battery. Their study shows that battery life can be increased by almost 23% without extending the charging time. All that is required is an update of the vehicle's software.

Could AI extend an EV battery’s life without increasing charging time?

Researchers have developed a new rapid charging method utilising artificial intelligence (AI) that reduces battery wear without affecting charging speed. The post Could AI extend an EV battery’s life without increasing charging time? appeared first on The Driven.

Chalmers' researchers develop AI charging strategy to extend EV battery life 23% with no increase in charge time

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a reinforcement learning-based fast charging strategy that extends lithium-ion battery life by around 23% compared to standard protocols, with charging time affected by only a few seconds. The method addresses a real problem with current practice: fast charging degrades batteries differently depending on their age, but today’s charging systems don’t account for this. The most damagi…

Smart AI gives electric vehicle batteries 23 per cent longer life - without increasing the charging time

AI method adapts fast charging to battery health, extending EV battery life by nearly 23% without longer charging times. Only a software update needed.
