No slowing down during the summer break!

Even though the hallways are quiet during the summer, our laboratories at Katedra elektroenergetiky / Department of Power Engineering FEI TUKE remain fully active. Research and measurements continue here year-round.

This week, our focus was on e-mobility. We conducted a series of measurements on two prominent electric vehicles:

Nissan Leaf

Kia EV4

What was the focus of the research? This research is key to analyzing battery aging and estimating battery lifespan. To collect precise data and simulate various operational modes, we utilized specialized equipment:

EXP22K3E 22 kW V2G DC Fast Charger

CHAdeMO 10 kW AC charging station

Monitoring battery behavior during bidirectional charging (V2G) and under different power loads allows us to better understand degradation processes and develop more effective strategies for extending battery life and ensuring safe grid integration.

A big thank you to the whole research team for their dedication during the summer days!

We would like to sincerely thank Kia Slovakia, for providing the Kia EV4 for research purposes.
