Several possible definitions of “system” exist for electric vehicle (EV) battery modeling. They range from the battery’s interactions with the complete EV drivetrain to thermal modeling of the battery pack, battery cell development and integration … [Read more...]
How do EV battery cell charge and discharge rates compare?
The charge and discharge rates of electric vehicle (EV) battery cells affect the vehicle's range and performance. Measured in C-rates, these crucial variables quantify how quickly batteries charge or discharge relative to their maximum … [Read more...]
What is an EV battery state of charge (SOC)?
An electric vehicle (EV) battery state of charge (SOC) represents energy levels as a percentage. Analogous to an internal combustion engine (ICE) fuel gauge, SOC clearly indicates available energy that directly corresponds to the driving range. This … [Read more...]
