Introduction
Challenges
Battery Degradation: The electric taxi fleet’s batteries are subject to gradual degradation over time due to frequent charging and discharging cycles, impacting vehicle range and performance.
Range Anxiety: Drivers and passengers often experience range anxiety, fearing that the battery charge may not be sufficient for their entire journey.
Downtime Costs: Unplanned downtime for battery-related issues can disrupt operations, resulting in lost revenue and inconvenience for passengers.
Challenges
Solution
The implementation of vehicle health monitoring in electronic vehicles can help address these challenges.
Continuous Battery Monitoring: The company installs vehicle health monitoring systems in each taxi to continuously track battery parameters such as SoC, SoH, temperature, and voltage.
Real-time Alerts: The monitoring system is configured to send real-time alerts to fleet managers and drivers when battery issues are detected, such as abnormal temperature spikes or voltage drops.
Predictive Maintenance: By analyzing historical data and using predictive analytics, the system predicts when a battery is likely to degrade beyond a certain threshold. It generates maintenance alerts well in advance of critical issues.
Scheduled Maintenance: When maintenance alerts are triggered, the company schedules preventive maintenance for the affected vehicles, including battery replacements or refurbishments.
Results
Reduced Downtime: Proactive maintenance and early issue detection lead to a significant reduction in unplanned downtime. The fleet experiences fewer incidents of vehicles being out of service due to battery-related problems.
Extended Battery Lifespan: Implementing optimal charging practices and timely maintenance results in a longer lifespan for the batteries, reducing the need for premature replacement.
