Abstract
Data-driven battery state estimation has been widely studied in recent years to enable safe, reliable, and lifetime-aware battery management in e-mobility applications, where accurate estimation is essential under highly dynamic operating conditions. With several recent reviews focusing on model architectures and methodological developments, a critical assessment of practical feasibility, real-world deployability, and application-specific challenges in e-mobility is needed. This review therefore provides a challenge-oriented assessment of recent data-driven methods for battery state estimation, with particular emphasis on practical deployment in e-mobility systems. Beyond summarising existing approaches, it assesses how recent studies address key deployment barriers. These barriers include data dependency, limited ground-truth health labels, and fragmented datasets. Further challenges concern feature complexity and interpretability, robustness under domain shifts, embedded-BMS constraints, and cell-to-pack scalability.Recentresearch increasingly focuses on battery health analytics, reflecting the importance of ageing-aware battery management in e-mobility. Based on the gaps identified, future research directions are outlined to support the development of safe, reliable, interpretable, and deployment-ready battery state estimation for next-generation e-mobility systems.
