• Volvo taps UK software startup to boost EV charging speed by 30%

  12-03-2024 12:29 via thenextweb.com
  
  Volvo has invested in Breathe Battery Technologies and plans to install the UK startup’s software in all of its next-gen EVs. Devices that use lithium-ion battery packs, from smartphones to cars, are typically designed to limit their power intake during charging. This is to protect the battery cells from overheating. However, it also reduces charging speed. Breathe’s so-called adaptive charging software offers a workaround. It controls the battery and monitors its health in real-tim
