In the last decade, a number of research works in electrified vehicles have been devoted to analysis electric consumption battery and evaluation main influencing factors. The literature reveals that motor size, efficiency, driving condition substantially affect energy stored vehicle battery. This paper studies degree sensitivity size its efficiency map characteristics. order accomplish this tas...

This paper compares the manufacturing and refueling costs of a Fuel-Cell Vehicle (FCV) and a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) using an automobile model reflecting the largest segment of light-duty vehicles. We use results from widely-cited government studies to compare the manufacturing and refueling costs of a BEV and a FCV capable of delivering 135 horsepower and driving approximately 300 miles...

The battery is a key component in any Electric Vehicle (EV) and its method of operation may have a tremendous effect on its life. In this paper we focus on improving the battery’s life. Each battery is a pack of cells designed to be discharged and charged with specific optimal currents, whereby other currents, i.e. higher or lower than the optimal currents, may have negative effects on its life...

This paper studies convex optimization and modelling for component sizing and optimal energy management control of hybrid electric vehicles. The novelty in the paper is the modeling steps required to include a battery wear model into the convex optimization problem. The convex modeling steps are described for the example of battery sizing and simultaneous optimal control of a series hybrid elec...

Electric vehicles (EVs) contain two main power electronics systems, namely, the traction system and battery charging system, which are not used simultaneously since occurs when EV is travelling parked. By taking advantage of this interchangeability, a single set converters that can perform functions both be assembled, classified in literature as integrated chargers (IBCs). Several IBC topologie...

The climate mitigation benefits of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) relative to internal combustion engine (ICEVs) are highly dependent on the carbon intensity electricity consumed during their production and use-phase. A consistent dynamic approach grid-mix regionalization BEV life-cycle assessments in Europe is therefore necessary offer accurate guidance consumers policy makers. To this end, ...
