Our take
The modern world is becoming increasingly battery-powered. Take electric cars, for example; it is predicted that that by 2025, 20% of all new cars sold across the world will be electric, and this figure is expected to double by 2030. Similarly, in 2021, Nasa announced the X-57, an experimental two-seater plane powered entirely by battery. It is becoming increasingly clear, then, that battery is the future of the modern world.
Breathe is hoping to capitalise on this developing trend. Their software - 'Lincc' - is the first to bring advanced battery management techniques to the electric vehicles and consumer electronics markets. Traditionally, the software managing battery physics and battery models could only be run on powerful workstation or desktop computing environments. Breathe, however, boasts that its software can be run on the low-power, low-cost microcontrollers in electric vehicles and consumer electronics. In practice, this unlocks a suite of potential improvements without any expensive hardware or materials upgrades. Breathe believes this will help accelerate battery technology rapidly to become more efficient, less wasteful, safer and fit for more applications.
Breathe will also benefit from a world which is increasingly focused on sustainability. Battery technology is known to be greener than alternatives, and if Breathe can unlock things like faster charging times and longer battery lifespans, it could really reduce some of the existing barriers to battery adoption.
