JLR partners with Fortescue to advance EV battery intelligence
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has signed a multi-year deal to use Fortescue’s advanced battery intelligence software, Elysia, in its next-generation of luxury electric vehicles.
Starting with the new Range Rover Electric, launching later this year, Fortescue’s Elysia software will monitor all future JLR EVs, according to the partners.
JLR said the aim is to give its customers a better EV ownership experience, with faster charging, better battery longevity, improved reliability, and increased range.
Fortescue’s Elysia software uses physics-informed digital twins and probabilistic artificial intelligence to identify and solve battery issues, which they said will help JLR to optimise battery performance and safety for clients.
The partners said that monitoring battery health through its life will support sustainability by making it easier to transition batteries from electric vehicles to second-life applications.
This collaboration is part of JLR's Reimagine strategy to electrify all of its brands by 2030 and achieve carbon net zero across its supply chain, products and operations by 2039.
The company said that before the end of the decade, its Range Rover, Discovery and Defender collections will each have a purely electric model, while Jaguar will be entirely electric.
