EV Battery quality and performance directly impact brand, marketability, and margins for EV automakers. Rapidly changing battery technology hinders the acceleration of validation activities and requires expensive capital investments and resources to meet time-to-market commitments and cost expectations.
To determine battery performance, durability, and safety, engineers test for hundreds of variables, over multiple environmental conditions, charge/discharge profiles, failure modes, and long periods of time. Additionally, compliance testing to meet standards such as IEC 62660 or SAE J2464 adds complexity to the already highly demanding job of testing EV batteries.
