• Resumen

  • Artificial intelligence could help to create longer-lasting electric car batteries that charge faster. Here, Lu discusses the development of William Chueh at Stanford University in California and his colleagues of an AI that optimizes recharging while also maximizing battery lifespan. There are many ways to recharge, says Chueh. Standard electric vehicle batteries tend to be recharged fast at first, and then more slowly, for example. How a battery is recharged is crucial because a sub-optimal charging pattern has the potential to significantly reduce battery lifetime, but reducing charging time is also important.
