High voltage BMS for LI-Ion nano-batteries for automotive purposes

Development of a 260-400 V Battery Management System (BMS)

Funded project: EUDP/ERP

The project aims to develop a 260-400 V Battery Management System (BMS) to operate large Li-ion nano-batteries in cars weighing up to six tons. Subsequently, the BMS will be tested in 10 prototype Volvos with in-wheels engines capable of travelling a distance of 220-250 km on an eight-minute charge.
