Canada faces a new frontier on the development of technology within the transportation sector. The recent push for electric vehicles (EVs) has set a new benchmark for automakers to strive for zero emissions vehicles by the year 2035. This is motivated by both policies mandated by the Federal Government of Canada and social influence. One of the major challenges to achieve this goal is the integration of battery packs. This involves choosing the proper cells, the corresponding battery management system (BMS), and the algorithm that guarantees the battery pack operates within its acceptable limits. A BMS relies on accurate battery models to perform predictions, where, equivalent circuit models (ECMs) are most practical.
