Adaptive charging for the next generation of EVs
Unlock the Next Generation of EV Performance
The electric vehicle industry is in the midst of a profound technological revolution, and the stakes have never been higher for automotive designers. With the large-scale adoption of EVs, new economic frameworks and industry leaders are emerging, while customer expectations are rapidly evolving. The battery is at the heart of this change, influencing everything from driving range to charging speed and overall ownership cost.
However, optimising EV battery design is challenging. Engineers often have to make trade-offs between key factors like range, charging speed, and durability, which can compromise the performance and longevity that EV owners expect.
Why Current Battery Tech Isn't Enough
Today's battery control systems are often based on simple, hard-coded rules that rely on limited measurements like voltage and temperature. This "one-size-fits-all" approach leads to:
Compromised Performance: It limits the battery's operating potential and underutilises the materials.
"Defensive Design": Manufacturers deliberately over-engineer systems or limit performance to account for uncontrolled ageing.
Zero-Sum Trade-offs: Engineers are forced to constantly compromise on attributes like charge speed, cycle life, and energy density.
This ultimately means end-users pay more for less.
Introducing Adaptive Charging
Breathe Battery Technologies is pioneering the next wave of battery performance by using software to deliver advanced algorithms for adaptive control. Instead of relying on traditional, pre-determined rules, our patented PHI-X2 physics-based battery model infers a battery's internal states in real-time, creating a unique charging strategy for each battery.
Our software, Breathe Charge, is a true adaptive charging solution that increases charging speed and cycle life without compromising on safety or energy density. This innovative approach allows you to do more with the power you already have.
Some of the world's most iconic EV brands, like Volvo Cars, are already trusting our technology to enhance the charging experience for their next-generation vehicles.
