Optimizing Electric Vehicle Performance: Advances in Battery Management Systems for Enhanced Efficiency and Longevity

The management of electric car batteries has taken front stage in automotive research and development as more people choose electric vehicles (EVs). Optimal performance, safety, and lifetime of electric vehicles depend on effective battery management systems (BMS). To address this, we developed software for system functionality testing and a BMS prototype with an AVR ATmega family micro-controller. The originality of this work is the practical application of Arduino platform for BMS development, offering a scalable and reasonably priced solution that goes beyond past efforts by including the most recent technological developments and addressing modern challenges in the field. Conclusions drawn show that overcoming present battery performance constraints by developing BMS technology will open the path for more general EV acceptance.
