Electra Vehicles, Inc. Unveils EVE-Ai Technology at MOVE 2024
Electra Vehicles, Inc. is thrilled to announce the world premiere of our in-vehicle demonstration of EVE-Ai (Range Expert and Fleet Analytics modules), our cutting-edge AI technology designed to revolutionize battery performance management, eliminate range anxiety, and support the expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) industry. At MOVE 2024, we will showcase EVE-Ai’s capabilities, leveraging advanced AI algorithms to provide real-time, personalized insights, predictive maintenance, and enhanced battery safety, benefiting EV drivers, OEMs, and fleet managers.
Addressing Range Anxiety
Most electric vehicle users (54%1) worry about unreliable battery ranges, leading to range anxiety. With an average error rate of 10%2 in range estimation, it’s clear why this is a significant barrier to EV adoption. Electra’s Range Expert, showcased in a Fiat 500e, addresses this issue by achieving an error rate of less than 1%—a 100% improvement over the average error. We collect and integrate information from external sources (traffic, road conditions, and weather), internal battery data (temperature and degradation), and users’ driving styles, providing a customized experience for every driver. Our ML-based AI algorithm processes all this data through the cloud, delivering outputs on the vehicle screen such as target energy remaining at the destination, precise trip energy consumption, precise ETA, and battery health status. This enhanced accuracy improves trip and charging planning, boosts trust in EVs, and can increase sales by up to 10% for OEMs who are currently losing customers to range anxiety.
Empowering Fleet Managers
Fleet managers are beginning to electrify their fleets but face significant challenges due to a lack of tools for gaining insights into the health of their EVs. In fact, 55% of fleet managers are concerned about EVs’ maintenance, security, replacement, and lifespan. Considering that an EV battery accounts for one-third of a car’s total value1, monitoring and assessing its health is crucial. Our technology addresses these concerns by empowering fleet managers with advanced alerts when an EV fleet battery is at risk of failure or needs maintenance—up to three months in advance. Using our sophisticated algorithm, we monitor and analyze data from both internal and external environments. Electra can transform any EV fleet with enhanced battery performance and reliability. Our AI-driven technology gives fleet managers improved visibility into each vehicle and overall fleet health trends. By optimizing battery usage, and predicting failures and maintenance needs up to three months in advance, Electra enables proactive maintenance strategies, minimizes risks, and reduces costs, helping fleet managers scale their operations effectively.
