Inobat launches lithium-ion pouch cell designed within 12 months using AI and HTP

European EV battery producer InoBat Auto launched the world’s first electric vehicle lithium-ion battery designed using artificial intelligence and high-throughput technology on 9 October.

The Slovakian firm developed the ‘intelligent’ batteries within a year of using processes that identify the optimum cell chemistry to meet the exact needs of an individual vehicle or automaker.

InoBat will begin manufacturing the 265Wh/kg lithium-ion pouch cells from next year.

AI predicts method for fast-charging EVs while minimising lithium-ion battery degradation

Artificial intelligence could have given clues on the best method for fast-charging electric vehicles thanks to a study at the US’ Stanford University.

Instead of charging at the highest current at the beginning of the charge, the computer’s algorithm suggested using the highest current in the middle of the charge.

Researchers unveil ‘intelligent’ battery management research

Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has unveiled research into the use of artificial intelligence to maximise the use of battery arrays in vehicles and energy storage applications.

ITRI’s Reconfigurable Array of Inexpensive Batteries Architecture (RAIBA), a system featuring AI “self-learning” and optimisation technology, was showcased at the annual CES 2018 technology innovation show in Las Vegas.
