Electric Vehicle Air Conditioning System and Its Optimization for Extended Range—A Review

Environmental protection initiatives are speeding up the replacement of present IC engine-based transportation system with an electric motor-driven system. In vehicles (EV), energy stored in batteries is used for traction vehicle and operation auxiliaries. The range was identified to be one major challenges faced by EV segment. optimization consumption best solution improvement EV. Auxiliaries include basic accessories such as a lighting equipment improved comfort air conditioners. Air conditioning power-consuming auxiliary apart from motor. This review article discusses significance influence different components system, methods followed researchers optimize performance reduce extend vehicles. effects thermal load volume space conditioned were also considered this study. concludes stating possibilities reduction power emphasizes zonal occupant reducing or increasing EVs.
