Thermal Analysis of EV Batteries Using 1D and 3D CFD

Batteries for Electric Vehicles (EVs) need to be extremely efficient, yet lightweight enough to maximize the driving distance from a single charge.

Batteries for Electric Vehicles (EVs) need to be extremely efficient, yet lightweight enough to maximize the driving distance from a single charge.

This white paper examines one of the most important factors that affect the efficiency of batteries: temperature.

Batteries usually have a narrow range of temperature in which they work best. If a battery gets too hot it can fail; on the other hand, when the battery is too cold, it doesn’t operate efficiently.
