Cold-weather performance is still a concern for some electric-car shoppers, although the effects of the cold on EV battery packs are better understood now than when the first modern electric cars went on sale almost a decade ago.
Extreme cold weather can adversely affect various functions of electric vehicles, such as charging times and minimize the drive range.
Firstly, electric cars generally charge slower in cold weather, although having a powerful onboard charger seemed to counteract that.
Bosch is a leading supplier of automotive and smart transportation products and services, seasoned in the development and application of Internet of Vehicles (IoV), preventive safeguards based on IoT, big data solutions, and autonomous driving. Over the past years, Human Horizons has embraced collaboration with Bosch Connected Mobility Solutions to bring smart vehicle technologies to Human Horizons’ smart vehicle.
As early as April 2019, Human Horizons has collaborated with Bosch Connected Mobility Solutions to broader cooperation in addition to many technologies such as remote diagnostics, which will be applied to the HiPhi 1. Bosch’s technology connects electric-vehicle batteries with the cloud to extend battery life, substantially improve the battery’s performance and service. EV battery life is expected enhanced by up to 20%, or charging speed increased by up to 20% when the HiPhi 1 is delivered to the market by 2021.
In addition, a big worry for many consumers with regards to electric cars is range in cold weather.
Electric vehicles are known to suffer diminished performance in cold weather, but the HiPhi 1 has taking these concerns into their range capacity.
Rigorous testing ensures winter-proved operation of the HiPhi 1 in low temperatures. The HiPhi 1 claims not to simply shut down when they lose power but instead deliver a series of warnings to the driver, with driving comfort and speed levels maintained until the very last few miles. Enough to hopefully get you home or to a charging station.
