The BMS: the brain behind batteries for electric vehicles

Do you know what a BMS is? And what role does it play when integrated into the lithium batteries – now in the majority – used in electric vehicles? The BMS (Battery Management System) plays a crucial role in optimizing the performance and lifespan of the lithium batteries used in electric vehicles. A complex electronic system designed to monitor, control, and protect the battery, the BMS ensures safe, efficient, and long-lasting operation of the battery, contributing to the overall reliability and performance of the electric vehicle. In other words, the BMS is considered to be the brain of the battery system, performing several key functions, giving the battery its status as an “intelligent battery system”.

Demystifying AIS 156 certification: a comprehensive guide to batteries for light electric vehicles in India

India is one of the fastest-growing electric mobility markets in the world. Increasing urban congestion, air pollution, and environmental concerns have prompted the Indian government to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles with the FAME 2 program supporting the purchase of electric vehicles including three, four wheelers and buses.

The benefits of these vehicles include a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reduced dependence on fossil fuels, and lower operating costs. However, to ensure that light electric vehicles meet safety and performance standards, AIS 156 certification has become a crucial element.

The Indian government actively supports AIS 156 certification as a key component of its electric mobility strategy.
