Chalmers study: reconfigurable EV battery packs could extend pack life by over 20%

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, working with PHINIA and Scania, modeled reconfigurable battery packs that bypass weak cells to extend pack life and cut lifetime cost. The Nature Communications study estimates up to 20% longer life in high-voltage vehicles, though added electronics raise pack cost by about 9%.
