Nio Partners UK Startup Monolith For Real-Time AI Battery Testing
NIO’s battery swap technology presents a unique opportunity to discover new insights into real-world, daily usage of batteries. It will track performance based on field-generated data using Monolith's Anomaly Detector AI software by Monolith, a UK startup.
The potential in automotive technology is being expanded by artificial intelligence. Monolith exemplifies the vital role AI plays in expediting and improving automobile development; the company already collaborates with leading automakers like Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
Nio and Monolith will implement Monolith's AI-enhanced real-time testing across five European markets, utilizing Nio's battery swapping service. This technology drastically cuts down on development time by enabling continuous learning about battery performance and health every time a swap takes place.
Frank Kindermann, Head of Battery System Europe at NIO, said: “NIO's partnership with Monolith exemplifies our commitment to delivering a premium user experience. 98% of our users across the five key European markets opt for Battery as a Service (BaaS). BaaS allows NIO users in Europe to flexibly charge or swap their batteries as needed, enhancing convenience and cost efficiency.
By combining our expertise in battery performance with Monolith's advanced laboratory capabilities, we're setting new standards in battery monitoring, ensuring unparalleled efficiency and reinforcing NIO's dedication to innovation and quality."
While European automakers typically need five years to develop a new car, Chinese EV makers like Nio often take around two years, aiming to shorten this to just one. The success of the partnership may also allow Monolith to expand their creative testing techniques by partnering with more Chinese automakers.
Nio's partnership with Monolith has the potential to transform EV battery testing by quickly improving longevity and performance. This strategy could lead to a change in the pace at which new electric vehicle models are created and introduced to the market, thereby closing the significant gap between Chinese and European manufacturers.
