Predicting #Electric-Car #Battery Life: GE, #Ford, U of #Michigan Team Up
But because the development of the modern electric car is still in its infancy, automakers are still struggling to predict how long an electric car battery pack will last in the real-world, putting many consumers off buying an electric car just yet. Which is why GE, along with Ford and the University of Michigan, is working on a system which will ultimately help automakers improve real-time battery analysis and lifespan predictions for plug-in cars.
