In Episode 5 of the Basics of Electric Vehicle Simulations using Ansys series, we take a deep dive into the science behind battery voltage and explore the fundamentals of thermal management in electric vehicles (EVs). 🔋⚡ Learn how the difference in reduction potential between the anode and cathode determines battery voltage, and how key performance parameters like C-rate, cycle life, and temperature sensitivity play a critical role in battery performance. We’ll also break down how batteries generate heat and why battery cooling systems—whether air-cooled, liquid-cooled, or phase change material systems—are essential for maintaining performance and safety in EVs.
