This paper reviews the current major challenges faced by the Electric Vehicle Industry along with possible solutions to overcome them.

This briefing provides an update on electric vehicle market and policy developments globally through 2020, with a focus on changes since our previous update in 2019. It includes information on how several governments in major markets have revised their vehicle electrification targets and developed related policies, as well as summarizes global electric vehicle market growth in 2020. This briefing considers battery electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technologies but does not examine non-plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

This paper evaluates the annual operation and benefits of EVs and V2G in a microgrid environment and demonstrates different modes of operation. Guided by the gaps identified in the literature, one of the main contributions of this research is to uncover the impact of EV charging scenarios on the V2G operations.

This study evaluated and quantified the energy consumption rates and energy regeneration rates for three heavy-duty battery electric vehicles (a step van, a yard tractor, and a class 8 truck) using driving cycle tests with a heavy-duty vehicle chassis dynamometer.

The aim of this research is to compare the conventional power system with a diesel engine and alternative power system with a selected battery to identify convenient technology for zero-emission shipping according to the environmental and economic criteria.

This paper provides a detailed modeling approach based on continuous variables to minimize the installation costs for electrified highway kilometers while providing sufficient energy for a given set of representative tours of electric vehicles.

This study provides a novel patent-based analysis framework for identifying the latent knowledge structure of technological domains by adopting dynamic perspectives. It uses patent data collected between 2010 and 2018 to systematically examine and visualize promising knowledge interactions that could foster the advancement of solid-state battery technology.

The rapid development of battery technology has promoted the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). To ensure the healthy and sustainable development of EVs, it is urgent to solve the problems of battery safety monitoring, residual value assessment, and predictive maintenance, which heavily depends on the accurate state-of-health (SOH) estimation of batteries.

This paper applies a case study approach for Australia and calculates the equipment life cycle assessment of diesel, hybrid and electric buses. This study prepared the assessment according to the procedures and methodologies outlined in the ISO 14040:2006 Environmental Management – Life Cycle Assessment.

The automotive industry is currently on the verge of electrical transition, and the environmental performance of electric vehicles (EVs) is of great concern. To assess the environmental performance of EVs scientifically and accurately, the authors reviewed the life cycle environmental impacts of EVs and compared them with those of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs).
