Scalvy has announced a major breakthrough in electric vehicle (EV) technology, confirming the successful evaluation of its modular battery-integrated architecture in collaboration with Valeo.
The joint study tested Scalvy’s innovative “Power Neuron” system—compact, software-controlled modules that manage and convert power at the battery level—under real-world automotive conditions using the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Cycle (WLTC). The results mark a significant step toward advancing next-generation EV power systems.
Unlike traditional EV architectures that rely on centralized components such as inverters and DC-DC converters, Scalvy’s distributed approach minimizes energy losses by shifting power management closer to the battery packs. This design allows greater flexibility, scalability, and compatibility across different vehicle types and battery technologies.
Key findings from the evaluation highlighted notable improvements in performance and efficiency. The system achieved a peak inverter efficiency of 98.3% under high-speed conditions, while maintaining stable thermal performance with motor temperatures below 62°C and no hotspot formation. Additionally, the architecture demonstrated improved battery health, with up to 15% longer lifespan due to better state-of-charge balancing and reduced thermal stress.
The modular system also enables faster charging by preventing uneven load distribution across battery cells, a common limitation in conventional EV designs. Scalvy’s pulse-like current behavior further enhances durability by minimizing localized wear within battery modules.
Executives from both companies emphasized the importance of the collaboration. Scalvy CEO Mohamed Badawy stated that the results validate years of development and position the company for the next phase of commercialization. Meanwhile, Valeo’s advanced development leadership described the findings as highly encouraging for future EV integration.
Scalvy is currently conducting field tests with select automotive partners and plans to begin supplying Power Neuron samples to OEMs. The company is targeting commercial production by 2027, following certification across mobility, energy storage, and data center applications.
The breakthrough highlights growing innovation in EV battery systems, with modular architectures emerging as a promising solution to improve efficiency, scalability, and overall vehicle performance.
