The rely on internal combustion engines is gradually decreased with the recent evolution of electric vehicles (EVs) in automotive industry. Electric motors are replacing energy systems mainly to improve powertrain's efficiency and ensure they environmentally friendly. These novel powertrains designed operate solely batteries or supercapacitors. For these types EVs, battery charged using an alte...

By 2020, over 100 countries had expanded electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle (EV/PHEV) technologies, with global sales surpassing 7 million units. Governments are adopting cleaner technologies due to the proven environmental health implications of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), as evidenced by recent COP26 meeting. This article proposes an agent-based model activity a tool for qua...

(eds.), Plug In Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids, Power Systems, DOI 10.1007/978-981-287-299-9_2 Abstract 100 year old gasoline engine technology vehicles have now become one of the major contributors of greenhouse gases. Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) have been proposed to achieve environmental friendly transportation. Eve...

• We analyze over 10,000 PHEV with a total of 4.3 million driving days. propose new method to detect the frequency individual charging behavior. Users avoid high share nights without charging. Not overnight has large effect on electric driving. Intense drivers have km per year low shares Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) offer greenhouse gas emission reduction in car usage if charged frequently an...

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) could reduce transportation air emissions and energy use. However, a method is needed for estimating on-road emissions of PHEVs. To develop a framework for quantifying microscale energy use and emissions (EU&E), measurements were conducted on a Toyota Prius retrofitted with a plug-in battery system on eight routes. Measurements were made using the follow...

With the need for more environmentally friendly transportation and wide deployment of electric plug-in hybrid vehicles, vehicle (EV) charging stations have become a major issue car manufacturers real challenge researchers all over world. Indeed, high cost battery energy storage, limited EV autonomy lifespan, time, fast infrastructure, significant impact on power grid are origin several research...

To understand the real world conditions of use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the electrical energy consumption and gasoline energy consumption must be weighted according to how often a consumer will drive fueled by each energy source. To perform this weighting The Society of Automotive Engineers Hybrid Committee has codified the concept of the utility factor in SAE J2841 Utility Factor D...
