Data-Driven Fault Diagnosis of Lithium-Ion Battery Overdischarge in Electric Vehicles
2022
Author(s): Gan N, Sun Z, Zhang Z, Xu S, Liu P, Qin Z
The over-discharge can significantly degrade a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery's lifetime. Therefore, it is important to detect the over-discharge and prevent severe damage to the Li-ion battery
Decarbonizing India’s road transport: a meta-analysis of road transport emissions models
2022
Author(s): Kumar M, Shao Z, Braun C, Bandivadekar A
The authors suggest that India set a target of lowering emissions from road transport that is at least 25%–50% below the 2020 level by 2050. Additionally, India should prioritize vehicle electrification, electricity grid decarbonization, and stringent fuel efficiency standards, as results from all models and post-COVID-19 analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of these strategies in reducing petroleum reliance and CO2 emissions.
