Bosch is developing a cloud-connected management system to monitor the condition and performance of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. It is working in collaboration with Chinese mobility platform Didi Chuxing to launch the Battery-in-a-Cloud service in Didi’s EV fleet. The cloud system uses real-time data from the EV and its environment to optimise recharging and provide battery conservation tips to drivers. The average lifespan of a lithium-ion battery is typically today or 1,000 charges. Bosch said the technology could improve battery performance and lifespan by up to a fifth.
