iBMS — Electra EV’s Edge-AI Enabled
Battery Management System
iBMS from Electra EV is a production-ready BMS for LV and HV programs (scalable up to 800 V) that turns the battery into an active, learning subsystem. Beyond protection, it features an on-board neural compute engine for real-time, adaptive, individualised energy management, a digital twin for prognosis, and multi-core lockstep electronics designed toward ASIL-D safety, ready for central compute architectures.
The master–slave architecture scales from single packs to distributed strings, while OTA-ready firmware, neural SOH/RUL estimation, and predictive thermal management enhance uptime and lifecycle value for both fleets and passenger EVs.
iBMS is a key component of Electra EV’s full-stack ePowertrain, offering the reliability, scalability, and localisation that OEM programs demand. Compliant with global standards, iBMS transforms battery intelligence into outcomes, including longer range per charge, fewer service stops, safer operation, lower lifetime costs, and superior experience.
Built in India, ready for the world, iBMS is the digital core that makes battery packs and ePowertrains from Electra EV adaptive, intelligent, and predictive. iBMS transforms the battery into an active, learning subsystem, improving range, safety, uptime and total cost of ownership across ePowertrain platforms, while ensuring better RoI for OEMs and customer delight in every EV journey.
The iBMS Advantage
- Ensures battery health and safety – Continuous cell-level monitoring with accurate SoC/SoH/SoP estimation, active/passive balancing, fault isolation and ASIL-D oriented protection prevents abuse events and slows degradation, extending pack life.
- Downtime reduction with prediction, not reaction – A real-time digital twin and neural prognostics flag anomalies early, schedule maintenance before failures, and keep fleets on the road. OTA-ready firmware rolls out improvements without workshop visits.
- Faster, smoother and more secure charging. Intelligent charge control manages fast-charge acceptance, temperature windows, and balancing to shorten charge stops while protecting cell chemistry in both hot and cold conditions.
- Ready for modern vehicle compute. Multi-core lockstep electronics reduce cloud dependency and plug into central compute roadmaps, future-proofing platforms while meeting global compliance requirements.
- Extends usable range in every drive – iBMS learns the route, load, and driving style on-board (edge AI) to optimise power delivery, regen intensity, and thermal strategy in real-time, ensuring range and performance remain consistent across city traffic, highways, and gradients with an additional middleware ElectraevOS.
