Hyundai and Kia open a new chapter in the electric vehicle industry

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Two South Korean automotive manufacturers, Hyundai and Kia, have opened a new chapter in the electric vehicle industry through technology and innovations related to smart software for electric car batteries, as reported by Arena EV on Friday.

The company named Qnovo, utilised by both firms to capture trends they believe will have strong potential to continue growing in the future.

Experts believe that by 2030, the world will require battery power four times higher than today, making this a substantial increase to more than 4,000 gigawatt-hours.

Hyundai and Kia also position Qnovo as a company that will ensure their electric vehicles are safe, reliable, and retain their value over time through the digital devices they generate.

The Qnovo software, which uses physics-based mathematics to monitor the battery in real time, is described by the company as a 24-hour doctor for their cars.

The software is claimed to be able to assess battery health with an accuracy of 98.7 percent, helping cars detect potential safety issues long before they become real problems.

To reach today, Kia and Hyundai have spent years testing their technology.

Both companies want to ensure the software can withstand the rigours of everyday use.

After travelling more than 2,000,000 kilometres on the road and testing more than 200 million devices, the results are clear. The software works well enough for global car brands to trust it for their future models.

Qnovo provides a digital record of how the batteries have been cared for. This data makes it easier for the company to offer better warranties to owners to prove that their cars remain in prime condition.

Hyundai and Kia leaders believe the software will determine the customer experience in the future.

For them, it’s not just about getting from point A to point B again. It’s about how fast the car charges and how long the car stays on the road.

By using Qnovo software, electric vehicles can charge more efficiently without damaging internal cells.

This keeps the car functioning like new for a much longer time than older battery systems.

Qnovo currently holds more than 60 patents for its technology. Other big companies like BorgWarner have also invested in it.

By joining this group, Hyundai and Kia ensure their future electric cars, autonomous taxis, and even robots have the best possible ‘heart’.
