Battery software developer Qnovo has launched a pilot program for its new application based on the Battery Genome platform. The tool is designed to evaluate the condition and residual value of electric vehicle batteries, addressing the challenge of inconsistent aging patterns in batteries with similar mileage and age.
The initiative aligns with the European Union's upcoming digital battery passport requirement, which becomes mandatory for all EV batteries on the market starting February 18, 2027. Qnovo aims to mitigate risks for automakers by identifying hidden defects and accelerated aging at the cell level that limited data sets might miss.
The Battery Genome platform leverages a database built on billions of real-world charge-discharge cycles across various battery types and manufacturers. By analyzing electrochemical records, including charging behavior and environmental exposure, the software provides a risk-adjusted assessment of battery health.
Qnovo is offering this application to automotive OEMs, fleet operators, and insurance companies as an extension of its existing software suite. The company's current portfolio already includes Adaptive Fast Charging and Health and Safety Diagnostics, which are deployed directly within vehicle systems.
