Aussie battery tech for Jaguar and Land Rover EVs
British car-maker partners with Fortescue to leverage advanced battery intelligence software for future EVsJaguar Land Rover (JLR) has signed a multi-year deal to use Western Australian mining giant Fortescue’s advanced Elysia battery intelligence software in its next-generation electric vehicles, starting with the new 2024 Range Rover Electric.
The companies said Elysia software will be used to enrich the JLR EV ownership experience through faster charging, improved reliability and increased range.
Physics-informed digital twins and probabilistic artificial intelligence will identify and solve battery issues, helping JLR to optimise battery performance and safety for customers while smoothing the transitional path for batteries between their primary EV deployment second-life applications.
“Fortescue’s technology will provide JLR with even greater access to data analytics, integral as we electrify our entire vehicle portfolio by 2030,” said JLR product engineering executive director Thomas Mueller.
“As the industry transitions towards electrification, collaborations such as these are paramount, as we look to further enhance the safety, performance and lifetime of our batteries.”
JLR is one of many premium auto brands striving for a carbon-neutral future, with plans to sell only battery-electric vehicles by 2030 (previously 2025) and achieve carbon net zero by 2039.
