324. SAE J3311: Smarter Vehicle Power Management

When it comes to today’s vehicles, every bit of energy matters. Wasted power can reduce EV driving range, add weight, and increase costs across the supply chain.   That’s where SAE Standard J3311 comes in. Instead of constantly running systems at full power — or each automaker using its own proprietary strategy—SAE J3311 promotes efficient, fine-tuned energy use across the entire vehicle.   Listen in as we sit down with SAE J3311 committee members Donald Gignac, Automotive Solutions Architect, Silicon Mobility; Maria Soledad Elli, Sr. Data Scientist, Torc Robotics; and Simone Palombi, Senior Systems Engineer, General Motors, to discuss how creating a common, industry-wide approach to smarter power management can unlock longer range, lighter vehicles, lower costs, and faster innovation across EVs and internal combustion engines alike.   We’d love to hear from you.
