Abstract : Increasing penetration of Electric Vehicles (EV) and recent advancements in the battery technology have necessitated the implementation of cutting-edge Battery Health Monitoring System [BHMS] to ensure the optimal performance, safety, and long life. Research and development in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies enables an interconnected ecosystem to promote sustainable transportation and deploy more EVs in the market. Integration of IoT using the ESP8266 microcontroller increases the system functionalities, permitting the data collection and access remotely through a centralized processing unit. This paper addresses the key components and various functionalities of a comprehensive BHMS, highlighting the significance of temperature control, safety aspects and real-time monitoring in preserving battery health condition. A Simulation model of the integrated IoT-enabled BHMS is implemented through Tinkercad software, and the important aspects of the battery such as temperature, voltage, State of Charge (SoC), and State of Health (SoH), have been analyzed under the various test conditions. A constructive laboratory hardware model is developed for the proposed BHMS, and the performance of the battery under high temperature, and fire detection conditions is demonstrated. Overall, this article provides a comprehensive analysis of how a well-designed BHMS can significantly improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of EV.
