In today’s fast-paced world, revolutionary technologies have continually reshaped industries, the automotive sector being no exception, and this time it is artificial intelligence (AI) that is set to revolutionise the entire electric vehicle (EV) industry.
As society moves towards sustainability, EVs are becoming immensely popular.

However, they still grapple with challenges, such as limited battery range, long charging times and infrastructure bottlenecks. AI seems to be the silver bullet that can address these issues.
Artificial intelligence is when human intelligence is imitated in machines and computer systems, enabling them to learn, solve problems, and make informed decisions.
AI utilises enormous datasets, algorithms, and computational power to analyse, interpret, and predict outcomes.
This is a capability that is increasingly being adopted and developed by the car industry.
AI and EV maintenance
AI is a game changer so far as electric vehicle maintenance goes. It makes sure of optimal performance and prevents costly breakdowns.
In an electric vehicle, AI algorithms can detect issues before they escalate, and for instance, if an electric car wants to travel a distance of 600 km (372 miles), AI can tell its owner whether the car is fit to travel that distance or some things need to be resolved before beginning the journey.
BMW is one of the few auto majors that has adopted AI for maintenance needs. The AI system in BMW analyses sensor data to identify anomalies and suggests proactive maintenance.
Autonomous driving in EVs
AI is slowly paving the way for autonomous driving to replace drivers in cars and Elon Musk is one of the pioneers in this technology.
AI-powered autonomous systems in vehicles in the future will not only prevent fatal accidents but can help a car find the fastest route to its destination, thus helping in optimisation.
Another example is Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. Waymo is also testing autonomous driving technology for electric vehicles, helping in handling complex scenarios such as merging in highways and lane changes.
Energy management and AI in e-cars
AI optimises electric vehicle energy usage, air conditioning systems and engine power output, thus suggesting energy-efficient routes. This, in turn, boosts the range of EVs on a single charge and protects the battery.
EV battery management with AI
Managing EV batteries is a crucial challenge and AI adoption may be a solution to this.
AI optimises charging processes and lets us know when the battery needs charging or replacement.
In fact, Tesla uses AI to predict charging times, and thus, boosts charging experience and allay fears regarding range anxiety.
Enhanced safety in EVs with AI
Safety is paramount in any vehicle and AI is revolutionising this important feature in electric vehicles.
AI-powered sensors and cameras help not only those inside the car by preventing accidents but even provide a safety shield to pedestrians
Volvo has an advanced AI-powered collision avoidance system, which can detect obstacles and take corrective action, giving a fillip to safety.
E-Vroooom’s views
AI can thus be used as a very reliable and friendly EV technology that will revolutionise this industry by taking safety, user experience, battery charging and distance travelled on a single charge to the next level, and not to forget another major use — adoption in driverless cars, which we may see in just a few years.
