The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates robust and efficient battery thermal management system (BTMS) to ensure optimal battery performance, safety, and longevity. This chapter explores recent advancements in BTMSs and advanced battery management technologies for EVs, with a particular focus on battery cooling technologies and their role in mitigating thermal runaway, a critical safety concern. The chapter delves into the limitations of conventional air-cooling methods and highlights the growing adoption of innovative cooling techniques like liquid cooling, phase-change materials (PCMs), mini/microchannel, and heat sinks. These advanced cooling solutions offer superior heat transfer capabilities, enabling precise temperature control and improved battery health. The chapter concludes by outlining the ongoing research thrust in BTMS development, including the exploration of novel materials, advanced cooling loop optimization strategies, and cloud-based BMS architectures. These advancements hold immense potential to further ensure the safety, reliability, and extended lifespan of EV batteries, ultimately paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient electric transportation future.
