1074 × 706
 
Porsche Engineering has created a new and effective AI-based method for providing even more precise forecasting of the remaining range — essentially providing a continuous health check on batteries.
 
Currently, lithium-ion batteries are the preferred energy storage technology for electric vehicles. This is due to their high power density and energy. Unfortunately, their properties inevitably change throughout the course of a vehicle’s life. That’s why for drivers of electric vehicles, it is imperative to have access to information on the current state of the battery.
