Chinese automaker Geely is introducing an advanced AI-driven fast charging system designed to mitigate battery degradation and prolong EV battery life by up to 20%. This innovative technology, termed 'Smart Charging,' reportedly utilizes micro-pulse currents to 'heal' batteries, addressing concerns about accelerated wear from frequent high-speed charging.
German engineering firm Hofer Powertrain has unveiled an innovative battery module designed to actively manage the mechanical pressure exerted on individual cells. This programmable control optimizes cell preload in real-time, a factor previously fixed by module design, to significantly extend battery lifespan by mitigating degradation.
New research indicates that a specific manufacturing flaw in high-nickel, manganese-containing EV battery cathodes could lead to premature battery degradation. This discovery suggests that while these chemistries aim to boost range and reduce reliance on expensive materials, improper handling of precursors during production might compromise their long-term durability.
