It was in July of 2019 when Bosch launched its “Battery in the Cloud” technology. This technology enables battery usage monitoring in the cloud and provides data feedback to car owners in real time, a feature that is expected to extend battery life by 20%. Reports said that the cloud battery management system does indeed improve electric vehicle battery life and reliability via intelligent optimization of its use, diagnosis and maintenance.
The Bosch Cloud System enables battery to be monitored and provide feedback based on driving operations and other factors. The technology will also collate information on all batteries linked to the system to provide battery pressure feedback to car owners, giving them the information on how to improve battery life by altering their driving style and charging means. For added safety the technology can also prevent battery fires via danger warnings.
