On September 24th, reports emerged stating that the French National Centre for Scientific Research revealed in a press release that a fully electric vehicle, fitted with an Intelligent Battery Integrated System (IBIS), has embarked on real-road testing. This innovative system not only boosts the vehicle's space efficiency but also streamlines maintenance procedures. It's worth noting that the electric vehicle in question is the Peugeot E-3008, a collaborative effort between multinational automaker Stellantis and French battery specialist Saft. The IBIS system revolutionizes the electric powertrain by seamlessly integrating inverter and charger functionalities directly into the battery. This integration is not limited by battery chemistry or specific use cases. This cutting-edge architecture is compatible with both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC), facilitating direct power delivery to the motor or the electrical grid. Additionally, it supplies energy to the vehicle's 12V network and auxiliary systems, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient power management solution.
