GM Can Manage an EV's Batteries Wirelessly—and Remotely
Found on IEEE Spectrum on Monday, 14 September 2020
IEEE Spectrum got an exclusive look at General Motors’ wireless battery management system. It’s a first in any EV anywhere (not even Tesla has one).
Unlike today’s battery modules, which link up to an on-board management system through a tangle of orange wiring, GM’s system features RF antennas integrated on circuit boards.
Really now? Going full wireless in a car to avoid some cables? Given how unreliable wireless transmissons can be, that's a really ridiculous idea and a reason not to buy such a car (which generally have too many PCBs already).
