An Empirical Analysis of Electric Vehicles’ Charging Patterns
2023
Author(s): Li Z, Xu Z, Chen Z, Xie C, Chen G, Zhong M
This study analyzes 11-month usage data from a large EV sample, including 3,777 battery EVs and 5,973 plug-in hybrid EVs. The authors leverage the data to uncover how, when, and where users in each group charge their EVs; investigate EVs’ energy consumption efficiency and its relationship to charging; and discuss EV-related policy implications.
Capacity Evaluation and Degradation Analysis of Lithium-Ion Battery Packs for On-Road Electric Vehicles
2023
Author(s): Liu H, Deng Z, Yang Y, Lu C, Li B, Liu C, Cheng D
In this paper, a capacity-calculating method specialized for EVs is proposed. This method uses an open circuit voltage (OCV) correction strategy to guarantee the battery state of charge (SOC) credibility.
