Press/Media: Press / Media

Description

The partnership with VIT, Vellore, University, India, involves a ground-breaking Royal Academy of Engineering Project to develop AI-driven adaptive fast charging for electrical vehicles.

This transformative initiative aims to pioneer development of an avant-garde electric vehicle (EV) charger, integrating state-of-the-art AI-driven features. The primary objective is to redefine the charging experience by achieving rapid charging for existing infrastructure, propelling the electric vehicle industry into a future marked by technological innovation.

Dr Maher Al-Greer, Principal Investigator and Associate Professor (Research), in the University’s School of Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies, said: “As governments worldwide set ambitious targets to promote EVs, the role of smart chargers becomes increasingly vital in optimizing energy usage and fostering a sustainable ecosystem.

“In the context of India's rapid urbanization and rising vehicle ownership rates, the demand for efficient charging infrastructure is escalating. Smart chargers are recognized as essential tools for managing and distributing electricity to EVs.”
