BREVO

The Battery Run-down under Electric Vehicle Operation (BREVO) model is a tool designed to estimate electric vehicle battery degradation over time. Unlike traditional models that rely solely on experimental charge-discharge cycles, BREVO integrates drivers' travel patterns with physics-based models of battery degradation and powertrain energy consumption. Additionally, it evaluates the effects of charging behavior, charging rate, driving patterns, and various energy management strategies on battery capacity degradation.

Objective: BREVO estimates the long-term impact of real-world usage patterns on EV battery degradation by connecting drivers' travel patterns with physics-based battery and powertrain models.

Purpose: BREVO enables EV manufacturers and consumers to assess the impact of real-world traveling patterns on battery degradation.
