Research in Electric Vehicle Battery Monitoring is Gaining Global Attention

Researchers from the Instrumentation, Photonics and Control System (IPC) group at the University of Kent have authored one of the most downloaded articles in Measurement: Energy Journal. Their article titled “Sensing-based monitoring systems for electric vehicle battery – A review” has received significant attention from the research community after its publication in June, 2025. The article provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art sensing technologies for monitoring the state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), temperature, and mechanical stress in lithium-ion batteries. It critically examines conventional electrical and thermal sensing methods alongside emerging non-invasive techniques, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and suitability for real-time battery management systems. Particular emphasis is placed on sensor fusion and the growing role of data-driven and AI-based approaches for improving diagnostic accuracy and battery safety.
