| 摘要： | In traditional Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the engine is the heart of the car. In hybrid, EV, BEV and PHEV, the battery is the heart of the car. The primary focal point of a vehicle has shifted with the introduction of EVs to (he market - and how we define the health of a car battery has changed, too.We define the health of a car battery by viewing its over-all power and performance. As the electrical pulse of the vehicle, it's important to lie in tune with battery health and stay updated with the evolv ing industry standards for maintenance. The industry is currently experiencing the rapid digitization of auto repair shops, using specialized software and tools to accurately diagnose all issues in a vehicle. With the industry moving in this direction, there's a growing need for smart tools in the shop to optimize data access, communication, and time- and cost-effectiveness as vehicles become increasingly connected.From smart multimeters to smart chargers, shop owners need to familiarize themselves with these "smart" tools to keep up with the battery maintenance needs of "smarter vehicles - especially with the rapid growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market. Vccording to the financial data firm Experian, EV registrations shot up by (it) percent in the first quarter of 2022, accounting for a record 4.6 percent of all new vehicle registrations in the U.S. H ith this impending influx of EVs hitting the market, technicians, now more than ever, need to he familiar with smart tools. The importance of battery diagnostics will also continue to grow, as the battery is the core component of an EV and accounts for 30 to 40 percent of the EV cost. Although not ail technicians may perform maintenance on EV batteries just yet, there are steps they can take to prepare for the future of vehicle servicing. |
