Experimentation and Investigation on Traction Motor Drive for Hybrid Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Kumar A
In this study attempt is made to design an adaptive controller in order to take care of parametric variations. A fuzzy-based real-time control system for a permanent magnet brushless DC motor has been simulated. The proposed methodology is validated by the experimental implementation
Technological Developments in Batteries: A Survey of Modelling, Estimation, and Management Strategies for EV Application
2021
Author(s): Ravali GG, Narasimha Raju K
This study compares features of various battery technologies. Besides, the prerequisite condition for efficient battery operation is accurate cell model that reflects hysteresis, aging, and thermal effects to characterise real-world performance
Analysing Vibration Environment of a Power Battery in a Running Electric Vehicle
2021
Author(s): Liu R, Hou Z, Wang S, Sheng D
Power batteries in electric vehicles are subjected to vibration during vehicle's driving. Clarifying battery vibration characteristics in service conditions is the basis for understanding battery performance and for structure improvement.
Control and Optimisation of a Dual-Motor Coupling Drive System of Pure Electric Vehicle Based on Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm
2021
Author(s): Zhang Q, Luo Y, Lin W, Wang Y, Wu X
Improving energy efficiency is an efficient approach to increase the mileage of pure electric vehicles and so improve their endurance. The unique structure of twin motor coupling drive system as a power source can significantly increase energy utilisation.
Electric Vehicle Transmission Types and Setups: A General Review
2021
Author(s): Rimpas D, Chalkiadakis P
This paper focuses on describing the types of gearboxes available - continuous variable (CVT), automatic, manual- with their pros-cons and the experiments done with different gearsets (plan and gear numbers - single or multigear transmissions - on urban or highway cycles to maximise energy efficiency)

Charge, set, go! Electrifying urban transport in Germany and Poland
2021
Author(s): Wappelhorst S, Morrison K
The study highlights the status quo of policies influencing and framing the electrification and provides recommendations for municipalities in Poland and Germany on how to effectively support the electrification of urban mobility. As such, the study supports the discussions of the Polish-German Platform on Electromobility, where both countries jointly work toward their shared ambition of driving necessary change.
Opportunities and Challenges of Lithium Ion Batteries in Automotive Applications
2021
Author(s): Masias A, Marcicki J, Paxton WA
Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have transformed the consumer electronics (CE) sector and are beginning to power the electrification of the automotive sector. The unique requirements of the vehicle application have required design considerations beyond LIBs suitable for CE.
