Researchers develop adaptive electric vehicle charging method to reduce battery degradation

Researchers at IITGN developed an adaptive charging framework for lithium-ion batteries to reduce lithium plating. The method dynamically adjusts charging to protect against internal degradation under varying temperature and battery health conditions. The strategy improves charging efficiency and reduces charging time. The work is published in the Journal of Energy Storage. The approach targets a key cause of battery degradation in electric vehicles. This method could help extend battery life in EVs operating in diverse climates.
