EV Enlightenment - WHAT IS A BMS?

BMS stands for Battery Management System, and its job is to monitor the voltages and temps of every battery cell to ensure that they stay within an optimal temperature range, and that the cells stay balanced during charging and discharging. Watch the video to see why this is important, and how Ampere provides an innovative solution to the BMS for its Modular Battery Packs.

Like our Atom Drive Battery Pack, our Battery Management System is modular and incorporated into each sealed battery module. battery pack designed and built in-house by Ampere EV. We developed our BMS in-house at Ampere EV utilizing fully custom circuit boards and bespoke software. With the BMS, the battery module can communicate real-time individual cell information to the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) ensuring performance, longevity, and safety.

Ampere EV’s Atom Drive System was developed by world-class engineers and includes modular battery packs, level 3 fast charging, a vehicle control unit, and a customizable user interface—all built in-house, pre-configured, and ready to install. The system also includes a high-quality touchscreen user interface with options for tactile switches and legacy gauges.
