Providing EV charging intelligence where it’s needed
Some EV charging infrastructure control functions are best handled on-site, some in the cloud. Driivz and Sparkion offer a combination of both. Every EV charging system consists of various components, including hardware (chargers, switchgear), software (charging management, user apps) and services (installation, payment processing, maintenance). As regular Charged readers know, companies that want to provide… Read more »
NREL researchers develop AI models to improve battery diagnostics
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have demonstrated a physics-informed neural network (PINN) model that they say can predict battery health nearly 1,000 times faster than traditional models. NREL’s PINN replaces the traditional, resource-intensive battery physics model with an approach based on AI that mimics the interconnected neurons of… Read more »
Electrify your fleet with nothing down with Revolv’s fleet-as-a-service model
