        abstract = {In recent years, Electric Vehicles (EVs) have gained significant importance due to increasing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable transportation. Unlike conventional vehicles, EVs rely completely on battery systems for their operation. However, managing these batteries efficiently is a complex task because they are sensitive to parameters like voltage, temperature, and current. Improper handling can lead to reduced performance, faster degradation, or even dangerous situations such as overheating and fire.
To overcome these challenges, a Battery Management System (BMS) is used. The BMS acts as an intelligent control unit that continuously monitors and manages the battery pack. It ensures that all battery cells operate within safe limits and perform efficiently under different conditions. This research paper provides a detailed understanding of BMS, including its working, functions, architecture, and importance in EVs.
The paper also discusses advanced concepts such as State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), and thermal management, which are essential for improving battery life and reliability. Additionally, it highlights current challenges and explores future technologies like AI-based BMS and wireless communication systems. Overall, this study emphasizes that a well-designed BMS is critical for the safety, performance, and long-term sustainability of electric vehicles.},
