TWAICE battery analytics platform for automotive sector

TWAICE recalls that battery sector’s market potential is estimated to reach $168 billion by 2030. According to analysis by Energize, this growth supports a $12 to $20 billion opportunity for the battery software market.

TWAICE’s software addresses key challenges in the battery lifecycle by generating insights into battery aging, while making highly accurate predictions on its future performance.
