With electric vehicles (EVs) in high-demand, manufacturers are looking for ways to improve their performance in safe and cost-effective ways.

One particular area of interest is improving battery management systems, which work in real time to monitor the performance of individual battery cells within the EV. By effectively monitoring each battery cell, an EV’s microcontroller (MCU) can ensure the proper operation of all battery cells and balance load sharing. This white paper examines the differences between wired and wireless BMS solutions to help you choose the best option for your EV design.
