The rising role of software in electric vehicles
Software plays a pivotal role in enhancing the driving experience in electric vehicles (EVs) by enabling various features and functionalities that improve convenience, efficiency, and overall user satisfaction. While software is not being as extensively utilized in smaller and more cost-effective three-wheelers (3Ws) compared to high-end electric vehicles, Altigreen strongly believes it can still play a significant role in improving their functionality, efficiency, and user experience. Here are some ways in which Altigreen is using software to enhance the humble 3Ws:
Battery management: Even in entry-level electric 3Ws, a basic battery management system (BMS) software can help monitor and optimize battery performance, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Altigreen’s proprietary BMS extends battery life and improves overall vehicle range.
Motor control: Software algorithms are used to control the electric motor in Altigreen 3Ws, providing smooth acceleration, efficient power delivery, and regenerative braking capabilities. This enhances the driving experience and energy efficiency.
Diagnostics and maintenance: All Altigreen EV components generate data on a multitude of parameters. Simple VCU software helps to monitor the vehicle's drivetrain systems, sending alert messages about potential issues or maintenance requirements. This can prevent breakdowns and reduce downtime, improving overall reliability.
Telematics and fleet management: For commercial applications, software enables telematics features, such as
