Smart battery monitoring for electric fleets: Extending battery lifespan and cost efficiency
The battery is the heart of any electric vehicle, playing a crucial role in the performance, lifespan, and cost-effectiveness of the vehicle. But how can we ensure that fleet vehicle batteries last long and keep costs low? The answer lies in intelligent battery monitoring.
The lifespan of batteries is a significant factor when purchasing electric vehicles. Most manufacturers offer a battery warranty of eight years or 160,000 kilometers (Source: ADAC). Through regular monitoring and analysis, deviations from the norm can be detected early and addressed in time to increase battery lifespan.
A well-maintained battery is not only longer-lasting, but also more cost-effective. Monitoring allows for determining the optimal charging and discharging cycles to protect the battery from overcharging while maximizing its capacity. This is where intelligent charging management comes in.
The following points can extend battery life:

Electric vehicles already come equipped with advanced battery management systems that monitor the temperature and voltage of each battery cell. Our intelligent charging management software complements this process, providing demand-oriented and battery-friendly charging, which can double to triple the battery lifespan. With the IO-Dynamics telematics module, damage can also be detected early on, and in the clear monitoring dashboard, battery charge levels can be monitored, battery condition assessed, and charging processes optimized accordingly.
Companies that rely on IO-Dynamics' intelligent charging management benefit in many ways:
Intelligent battery monitoring is essential for companies with electric fleets to extend vehicle battery lifespan and reduce costs in the long run. With IO-Dynamics' software, companies can not only charge their electric vehicles intelligently, but also increase the efficiency of their fleet. Get in touch now!
