Lithium-Ion Batteries features an in-depth description of different lithium-ion applications, including important features such as safety and reliability.

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is widely recognized as the most promising battery technology for future electric vehicles (EV). To understand the environmental sustainability performance of Li-S battery on future EVs, here a novel life cycle assessment (LCA) model is developed for a comprehensive environmental impact assessment of a Li-S battery pack using a graphene sulfur composite cathode and a lithium metal anode protected by a lithium-ion conductive layer, for actual EV applications.

This book surveys state-of-the-art research on and developments in lithium-ion batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles.

This study looks at the network of the Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM, Karnataka) to assess the capacity of the distribution grid to accommodate the EV load. It then provides holistic guidelines for interventions and business models for BESCOM to adopt and roll out charging infrastructure within its jurisdiction.

TERI conducted a city-level analysis of four cities – New Delhi, Panaji, Bengaluru, and Guwahati to assess EV planning and deployment action chains. These shortlisted cities were assessed with regard to a set of seven relevant criteria and indicators viz., Institutional/policy readiness, Economic readiness, Infrastructural readiness, Technological readiness, Innovation readiness, Social readiness, and Environmental readiness. In each city, key stakeholders were identified, interviewed, and surveyed on each criterion shaping the EV ecosystem.

Some of the key objectives of the policy are to promote swapping of batteries with Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) batteries to decouple battery costs from the upfront costs of purchasing EVs, thereby driving EV adoption. Offer flexibility to EV users by promoting the development of battery swapping as an alternative to charging facilities. Establish principles behind technical standards that would enable the interoperability of components within a battery swapping ecosystem, without hindering market-led innovation etc.

This paper presented comprehensive discussions and insightful evaluations of conventional electric vehicle (EV) batteries (such as lead-acid, nickel-based, lithium-ion batteries, etc.) and the state-of-the-art battery technologies (such as all-solid-state, silicon-based, lithium-sulphur, metal-air batteries, etc.).

The main objective of this work is to introduce G2V scheduling in multiple electricity markets and to review important problems in the current G2V scheduling problem such as reduction of the EV owner cost, support the power grid, monetize and capture EVs’ value, generate revenues for EVA. The streams or stacks of value can be monetized by charging customers’ batteries when wholesale prices are low, or discharging them when the opposite is true; and by supporting local distribution networks at times when they are stressed.
