Advanced battery intelligence platform for EVs and ESS launched by ION energy

ION Energy, one of the pioneers of advanced battery management and intelligence systems, has announced the launch of EDISON analytics, a futuristic, cloud-hosted battery life-cycle management platform. Leveraging battery data, advanced electronics, machine learning, and AI, the platform aims to extend life (up to 40 per cent) and enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries with a software-first approach.

Edison reinforces ION energy’s mission to accelerate Earth’s transition to an all-electric planet. With Li-Ion batteries accounting for up to ~ 45 per cent cost of EVs, the financial viability of these vehicles rely on battery life and performance. These deployments are expected to last 10+ years and ensuring battery life is critical to their financial modeling.

Commenting on the launch of Edison Analytics, Akhil Aryan, Co-founder, and CEO – ION Energy, said, “Edison will help users accelerate deployment speed, improve uptime and extend battery life by up to 40 per cent. Our objective is to help companies make data-driven decisions and eliminate the wasted time trying to make sense from the CSV files that they are currently collecting and opening in Excel.”

The launch of Edison aligns with the need to address the widespread global energy crisis and switch to more efficient and sustainable energy systems. With Edison, ION aims to not only bring visibility into battery health and performance but also improve it consistently. By 2020, ION intends on having over 1GWh of batteries under the Edison management platform and build Edison into a plus $1M business unit.
