Thermal Encapsulation of Large Battery Packs for Electric Vehicles Operating in Cold Climate
2022
Author(s): Ramesh Babu A, Minovski B, Sebben S
This work numerically investigates the potential of thermal encapsulation of large battery packs for electric truck applications. Vehicle-level simulations were performed under drive cycle conditions at different operating temperatures to study its influence on the battery performance.
As power grids evolve to meet the rapidly changing needs of dynamic modern societies, what are the big ideas that will help make the power supply stronger, greener and more resilient? Who will lead these trends? And what can we do to ensure great ideas are put into practice? In this episode, ADB Ventures' reveal key trends that will shape the future of grid technology innovation.
Accelerating Hainan’s Transition to New Energy Vehicles to Hit Its Target for Peak CO2 Emissions by 2030
2022
Author(s): Cui H, Xie Y, Niu T
This paper evaluates the necessity of accelerating Hainan’s transition to NEVs by using ICCT’s Roadmap model to project tank-to-wheel CO2 emissions from Hainan’s on-road transportation sector through 2035 under two different scenarios. The baseline year is 2021 and all passenger vehicles, buses, coaches, and trucks are included.
Deploying Charging Infrastructure to Support an Accelerated Transition to Zero-Emission Vehicles
2022
Author(s): Bernard M R, Kok I, Dallmann T, Ragon P-L
The study shows more than 100 million chargers, including 6.2 million public ones representing 240 GW of public installed power output, will be needed across ZEVTC jurisdictions by 2030. As of mid-2022, only 13% of public chargers and 10% of power output were in place.
Understanding investment, trade, and battery waste management linkages for a globally competitive electric vehicles manufacturing sector
2022
Author(s): Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), ClimateWorks Foundation, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation
Increasing the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) is a strategic objective of the Government of India. The development of the Indian EV landscape, however, is likely to entail momentous investment and for this level of investment to take place, India's EV ecosystem will have to be globally competitive.
Thermal and Electrical Characterization of an Electric Vehicle Battery Cell, an Experimental Investigation
2022
Author(s): Gungor S, Cetkin E, Lorente S
This paper documents the experimental characterization of a Li-ion battery cell during the charging/discharging cyclic operations. The study of the battery cell is conducted in the absence of a cooling aid system and provides thermal and electrical insights.
What Affects Consumers’ Intention To Recycle Retired EV Batteries in China?
2022
Author(s): Dong B, Ge J
To understand consumers’ intention to recycle EVs’ retired batteries, a study using the theory of planned behavior, value-belief-norm (VBN) theory, and the benefit-risk analysis (BRA) model was combined with three extended factors, namely, recycling experience, policy incentives, and product after-sales.
An Immune Algorithm for Solving the Optimization Problem of Locating the Battery Swapping Stations
2022
Author(s): Zhang H, Zhang K, Zhou Y, Ma L, Zhang Z
In this paper, an integer programming problem model was formulated to reasonably locate battery swapping stations, where total costs (including construction, operation and maintenance, and travel costs) were minimized.
Determinants of Adoption Intention of Battery Swap Technology for Electric Vehicles
2022
Author(s): Adu-Gyamfi G, Song H, Nketiah E, Obuobi B, Adjei M, Cudjoe D
In this study, the adoption intention of BST for EVs is explored as BST′ success depends on consumer acceptance to guarantee pro-environmental consumption and pollution reduction. The current study extends the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with perceived benefits and knowledge.
Synergies Between Repositioning and Charging Strategies for Shared Autonomous Electric Vehicle Fleets
2022
Author(s): Dean MD, Gurumurthy KM, de Souza F, Auld J, Kockelman KM
This study couples charging and repositioning events to improve service quality (rider wait times), reduce empty travel due to repositioning or charging, and improve fleet utilization (average daily trips per vehicle and charging queues).
