On 13 November 2025, Ampere, a Renault Group company specializing in smart electric vehicles, and Centrale Nantes announced the launch of the third phase of their joint research chair, focusing on propulsion systems, energy management, and diagnostics for electric vehicles (EVs):

3 research axis

• Improving the range, efficiency and driving comfort of electric vehicles through control and monitoring functions integrated right from the design stage.
• Making the vehicle a key player in the electricity grid (Vehicle-to-Grid, Vehicle-to-Home, etc.), using AI-based optimisation and control algorithms
• Extending the service life of critical vehicle components through diagnostics, prognostics and predictive optimisation.
