New Valmet battery management system could be bad news for copper
Valmet Automotive (HEL:VALMT) has developed a new battery management system for electric vehicles which it believes could lower costs by around 25%, having a significant knock-on effect on the profitability of EVs. The company has utilised a wireless data connection to eliminate end-to-end low voltage wiring in the individual cell modules, cables between modules, slave electronics on the module and corresponding connector systems. This will revolutionise management of the vehicle while significantly lowering the amount of copper required.
