Abstract
Various embodiments and approaches are described to minimize degradation of respective modules combined to form a battery pack onboard an electric vehicle (EV). Systems and components are presented to determine a respective operational state of the modules, and based thereon, a first subset of modules can be selected to provision power to various EV components while a second subset of modules can be deselected. Module selection can be based upon a threshold operating condition. A visual representation of the modules and their respective operational state can be presented, in conjunction with one or more alarms and recommended corrective operations. Artificial intelligence methods can be utilized to determine an operational state of a module(s). A module can be scheduled for replacement. Limiting degradation to a first module can minimize degradation of a second module. The various components can be stored in a memory and executed by a processor.
