This paper aims to provide a literature survey of current energy consumption models and energy-efficient routing algorithms, and adapts current dynamic traffic information towards electric driving. A real-world field study from Germany has been evaluated and serves as a basis for energy consumption analyses.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the development of the electromobility (e-mobility) market, which directly results in the increased requirement of charging stations supplied from the public distribution network. Electric vehicles will be an integral part of the smart grid in the future.

In this paper the current innovations in automotive branches, including the development of propulsion systems in vehicles are described. Examples of the use of hybrid propulsion systems for three groups of vehicles: land, sea and air are presented.

In this paper, the authors have devised a method that will help Electric Vehicle users planning long distance trips get routes that are optimal and get an estimate time needed to complete the trip.

As part of the collaborative project “Cities in Charge”, Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM) is investigating the possible contribution of battery storage systems for grid assisting charging of electric vehicles.

Due to the high peak loads of electric vehicles, the increase in electromobility is expected to increase grid usage. In particular, due to high local penetration in individual low-voltage grids, the probability of local grid congestion also increases.

This paper presents a holistic modeling approach for the optimum sizing of electricity energy storage (EES) units for local energy communities (LECs) with electric vehicle (EV) charging and renewable resources.

E-mobility is a fast-growing sector that influences many industries. In this paper, the authors deal with possible influence of e-mobility development on the existing low voltage distribution network.

This paper deals with the design of high-speed Synchronous Reluctance motors for electric vehicle applications. The need to enhance power density and lowering costs leads to the design of high speed motors with a reduced amount of rare earth. Pure synchronous reluctance motors potentially operate at high speed and exhibit a low cost rotor compared to PM and induction motors.

The aim of this paper is to compare the energy efficiency of the hydrogen applied directly in a fuel cell vehicle or converted in electricity for a fast charge of a battery electric vehicle in long distance journeys.
