Although lithium-ion batteries have long been the focus of EV development, issues such as battery aging and safety still aren\u2019t fully understood.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s mainly because current battery management systems can obtain little information from a battery, and with poor real-time capability. They also can\u2019t store or process large amounts of data during the operation of a vehicle. <\/span><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t lose your hope just yet, because digital twin tech could actually be a huge game-changer.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a digital twin?<\/h3>\n

Basically, a digital twin is a virtual simulation<\/em> of a physical asset.<\/span><\/p>\n

So in our case, we have an EV battery and a virtual replica<\/em> of it that\u2019s linked to its physical counterpart.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h3>\n

Simply put, what\u2019s connecting the real battery with its twin is the transfer of data and information.<\/p>\n

The digital twin uses sensors to receive two types of information: <\/span><\/p>\n
