SUSTAINABILITY
autonomously run deep battery tests during manufacturing and vehicle operations to detect the early signs of defects/failures, which could lead to severe safety issues for end customers.
For the ecosystem to build new systems and value-added services around the battery data, transparency, security and ease of deployment are critical. ADI brought this technology to mass production as a turnkey solution with security designed in at every standard of automotive cybersecurity (ISO 21434 CAL-4). Each wBMS IC contains a secure identity—a vital building block to the industry’s goal of a battery passport.
The wBMS insight platform leverages ADI’s seventh-generation cell monitor sensors and edge algorithms to enable faster charging, extended range and longer battery life, all while guaranteeing maximum safety. The ability to accommodate software updates ensures consistent improvements to the battery and powertrain performance. Secure wireless capability also means that the condition of the battery pack can be conveniently analysed. If a malfunction is detected, the wireless replacement.

The combination of forward-looking government policies, technological advances and the automotive industry’s commitment to sustainability are powerful forces to accelerate mass market EV adoption.

As the battery packs account for more than 30 per cent of EV retail price, the entire value chain has an economic incentive to nurture a secondary market. wBMS can accurately track the health of the battery across its life to assign the resale value to the pack, thereby ensuring trust between buyers and sellers. This will allow batteries to be treated as assets that can be used to recoup some of the initial investment and potentially pass Removal of the wiring harness aids in faster and cost-conscious disassembly of the battery packs, providing a seamless path to battery second-life reuse and recycle applications.
As EVs proliferate, they create increased 22 MARCH 2026 | ELECTRONICS FOR ENGINEERS
demand for charging stations and additional stress on the grid that is uniquely dynamic, in both time and space. Energy storage and conversion combined with energy management will transform EVs into a vital and valuable grid stabilisation tool. Intelligent battery software and wireless links delivered by ADI’s wBMS for EV and energy storage systems (ESS) can help energy grid to manage supply and demand charging rates can be used to optimise charging schedules and secure better electricity rates.
As we look ahead, we see EVs are just the beginning of a massive planetary-scale shift towards sustainability. Advanced technology solutions are needed on both sides of the charging cable. Batteries will continue to proliferate and grow in different types of chemistries, and new insights are required to enable a circular lifecycle for batteries. Achieving a sustainable future also means growing ethical practices, and battery minerals, such as zero-cobalt LFP, will continue to be favoured in the marketplace. Ultimately, by leveraging our innovations in precision management, control and real-time signal processing, ADI is adding intelligence at the edge across each node of the ecosystem to ensure the reliable convergence of electric transportation and the clean energy grid for a more sustainable future.
