State of charge error estimation of battery cells background

Embodiments described herein generally relate to the modification of State of Charge (SoC) calculations within electric vehicles (EVs). A database of data points may be generated based on characteristics of a battery cell at various measured SoCs within a controlled environment. Subsequently, during the operation of an EV, a battery management system (BMS) within the EV may collect various operating data points. The collected operating data points may be utilized to reference similar data points stored in the database in order to determine an SoC value. The SoC value may be utilized to modify or alter the SoC calculations by the BMS for an EV in operation.

Vehicle and control method thereof

A vehicle includes a battery that is mounted as a power source in the vehicle and an instrument panel that displays, to a user of the vehicle, an index (a capacity retention ratio Q or an electric vehicle (EV) travelable distance) indicating a larger value as deterioration of the battery progresses less. The instrument panel displays a maximum value of the index until a predetermined condition has been satisfied.

Vehicle diagnostic system, vehicle, and method of display of vehicle diagnostic result
11574509 · 2023-02-07 · ·

A vehicle diagnostic system diagnoses a vehicle having a battery mounted thereon. The vehicle diagnostic system includes an instrument panel for showing a capacity retention of the battery, and an ECU that calculates the capacity retention to be displayed on the instrument panel. The ECU measures the full charge capacity of the battery each time external charging is completed, and, based on a result of the measurement, updates a capacity deterioration curve indicative of changes in over time of the capacity retention. When a display request for showing the capacity retention on the instrument panel is generated, the ECU calculates the capacity retention when the display request is generated by referring to the updated capacity deterioration curve.
