AI and machine intelligence may enable super-fast EV charging.
According to a news release, Idaho National Laboratory researchers are employing machine learning and other advanced techniques to minimize electric vehicle charging times without hurting the battery.
Despite electric vehicles' growing popularity, many buyers are hesitant to make the switch. One of the key reasons is that charging an electric automobile takes significantly longer than charging a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine. This hesitation is a symptom of range anxiety, and the remedy is to purchase a long-range electric vehicle, which can be costly.
Because speeding up the charging process can damage the battery and shorten its lifespan, scientists are working on super-fast charging technologies that are specifically designed to charge each type of electric vehi...
