as electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles become more sophisticated, demands are growing for greater battery efficiency and life, and longer driving range. achieving this must include improvements in thermal management.

there is a critical need for maintaining optimal battery temperatures. engineers are working on more innovative and effective methods for intelligent thermal management for expensive ev and hev batteries. a battery that can function within the right temperature range will last longer and need fewer charges.

this is especially true given current demands for rapid charging, which can heat up batteries faster, thus potentially shortening their life.
