Remote monitoring systems for electric vehicle technology [Bozza]

Faraday Battery are a start-up company looking to manufacture rechargeable battery packs for large electric vehicles like trains and buses. At the moment, battery packs are designed to last for ten years after installation however, this relies on their ongoing ability to perform reliably. Optimising when to replace battery cells is a key problem for industry as doing this too late results in an unreliable service for customers and replacing cells too early means that healthy cells are not used to their full potential. The company were looking for a way to measure and quantify the health of a cell in real-time and display warnings of cell health through a user dashboard.
