The UK's WAE Technologies Launches Elysia - its new EV Battery Intelligence Division

WAE Technologies (WAE), a UK technology and engineering services business, has launched Elysia, its Battery Intelligence software unit. Elysia is designed to improve the life, safety, usable energy, power, and rapid charging times of any battery system.

Elysia draws on WAE’s experience in high-performance batteries, gained from the supply of batteries to electric motorsport series, as well as the design and development of batteries for electric hypercars and mining trucks.

Its software offers access to battery insights, and the ability to manage, optimise and enhance performance across the battery’s entire lifecycle, both in the vehicle and in ‘second life’ applications such as stationary grid storage.

It features Elysia Embedded, a suite of battery management algorithms that can allow OEMs to increase range, unlock faster charging, and maximise battery power.

WAE was formerly known as Williams Advanced Engineering.

WAE Technologies CEO, Craig Wilson, says: “For more than a decade now, WAE has led the world in the design, development, and manufacture of the most advanced electric vehicle batteries ever seen. We have been the sole supplier to major electrified motorsport series, extending batteries to their limits in the heat of competition on the racetrack. We’ve also pushed the boundaries with electrification of hypercar programmes and lately, electric mining trucks and other heavy equipment. “One of the most crucial components of our leadership is the software which has enabled these vehicles to set new performance standards. At WAE’s core is the commitment to transferring new technology from motorsport to other sectors - so I am delighted we have launched Elysia today."

Elysia Commercial Lead, Joe Jones, adds: “The battery in any electric vehicle of any kind represents the single most valuable system by far. Better understanding of battery systems will transform how we manage them, in order to realise their full potential. Elysia, Battery Intelligence from WAE, opens up a new era of electrification, born on the racetrack, but designed for the real world. It brings a new generation of battery intelligence to wide range of industries, from the automotive and e-mobility sectors, to stationary energy storage and beyond. Elysia’s unique capabilities offer unprecedented insight and foresight, unleashing untapped performance, life and safety to every electric vehicle, and every battery on the planet."

WAE has designed, developed, and manufactured the world’s most advanced batteries for multiple sectors, from global electric motorsport programmes to electric hypercars and mining trucks.
