At this stage in the EV market, a techy interior tied together by a huge screen as the center console is synonymous with battery capacity and frunks. That screen essentially runs the comfort of the car while displaying driving range and perhaps even nearby EV chargers.
All of that utility is built and uplifted by software and Bosch understands its importance to a tee.

You most likely know Bosch as a manufacturer for car parts and tools, and to a degree, those are still the brand’s bread and butter. Now manfacturing for the modern era, Bosch is hard at work to provide parts and tools in the form of software solutions for new energy vehicles.
Acknowledging that EVs are software-defined cars, Bosch uses this approach to understand the needs of the industry. Policy-makers, car companies, and drivers all value accessibility and diversity in their own mobility—Bosch believes in the use and development of software as a way to satisfy all these principles.
‘Battery in the cloud’ is a new online solution created by Bosch which encapsulates the needs of the industry. It adds a layer of transparency between the EV and the driver through monitoring, reporting, and predicting battery performance. This could help slow down battery aging, and reduce maintenance costs and breakdown risks. All while creating a more eco-friendly driving pattern.
When it’s time to recharge, ‘convenience charging’ from Bosch is an online service, developed to help drivers optimize their charging habits to ease range anxiety and lessen costs.
The EV industry requires the right infrastructure to make driving an electric car as safe and accessible as can be. Incorporating software solutions is an imperative task and it looks like Bosch is up to the challenge.
