AI for EV Energy Management

Using AI to Improve EV Battery Design, Manufacturing, Range, Navigation Optimization, Fleet Management, and Vehicle-to-Grid Applications

EVs are viable substitutes for many vehicles that rely on internal combustion engines (ICEs). Although many EV drivers are enthusiastic about their vehicles, prospective customers have legitimate reasons for hesitating to make the switch. The EV industry is aware of these concerns and is aggressively applying AI technology to enhance the EV experience.

Despite a temporary setback in unit sales due to the coronavirus pandemic, Guidehouse Insights expects strong EV sales in all regions over the next decade. The use of AI technology is anticipated to play an increasingly important role in enhancing the efficiency and capabilities of EVs, advancing the competitive positioning of EV OEMs, and overcoming the objections of prospective EV buyers. Ultimately, EV adoption should accelerate as AI makes the EV ecosystem more attractive and competitive.

This Guidehouse Insights report describes the internal OEM AI applications used in the current generation of EV hardware and services as of 2020. It also documents pending or planned uses of AI in the EV value chain (second generation applications). The report also discusses third generation applications that are expected to offer further enhancements to existing or planned AI capabilities contributing to the overall EV experience, but they have yet to be implemented. In addition to these internal OEM use cases, this report provides an overview of EV-related AI opportunities around commercial fleet management, utility grid management, and EV charging integration.
