The Battery Management System (BMS) is a critical component within electric vehicles (EVs), tasked with overseeing the charging and discharging of the battery pack while ensuring safety, efficiency, and longevity. This abstract encapsulates the pivotal role played by the BMS in facilitating the widespread adoption of EVs and advancing the transition to sustainable transportation solutions. The BMS operates as a guardian of the battery pack, continuously monitoring key parameters such as cell voltage, temperature, current, and state of charge to maintain safe operating conditions and prevent potential hazards such as overcharging, over-discharging, and overheating. Beyond safety, the BMS optimizes battery performance and lifespan by managing charging protocols and providing valuable data insights to the vehicle’s control system. Integral to the BMS’s function are its diagnostic capabilities, which enable real-time assessment of battery health and condition, empowering users and maintenance personnel to address issues proactively and minimize downtime. Furthermore, the BMS interfaces with charging infrastructure, regulating charging rates and ensuring compatibility with diverse charging stations and protocols. The BMS is poised to evolve with advancements in predictive analytics, machine learning, and vehicle-to-grid integration, enabling dynamic optimization of battery performance and energy management. As EV technology continues to mature, the role of the BMS will remain central to ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of EV battery systems, thereby accelerating the global transition to sustainable transportation.
