Wireless inductive charging allows an electric vehicle to automatically charge without the need of cables. For the wireless charging technologies, different EV models can share their charging infrastructure if the same wireless power transfer technology is adopted

Pop-up chargers are designed to be flush with the pavement, so they do not interfere with walkways or create trip hazards. Until it is activated by a user, the charging portion of the device is hidden underground.

The self-heating battery uses a thin nickel foil with one end attached to the negative terminal and the other extending outside the cell to create a third terminal.

Roadside street cabinets could play a significant role in the EV revolution because they are fixtures in almost any community with an internet connection. The technology optimizes operating costs by ensuring maximum availability of charging services.

Electric drive vehicles (EDVs) are seen on American roads in increasing numbers. Related to this market trend and critical for it to increase are improvements in battery technology.

This book gathers selected papers presented at the KES International Symposium on Smart Transportation Systems (KES STS 2022).

In an electric vehicle, reversible heat pumps can be used to both warm the battery and cool it. When cooling it, the excess heat from the battery can be sent to the cabin heater.

Regenerative braking is a unique technique that is used in electric vehicles to capture energy that the vehicle has due to its motion

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain).

Low rolling resistance is important to ensure that the tyre does not wear out due to the high torque that occurs due to the inertia. Less friction also entails much better efficiency and longer tyre life.
