New machine learning method from Stanford, with Toyota researchers, could accelerate battery development for EVs

Green Car Congress

Here we develop and demonstrate a machine learning methodology to efficiently optimize a parameter space specifying the current and voltage profiles of six-step, ten-minute fast-charging protocols for maximizing battery cycle life, which can alleviate range anxiety for electric-vehicle users. The new research sought to optimize this process.
