Review on Electric Vehicle Technologies

Abstract

Society is more concern by the causes and effect of Internal Combustion (IC) engine emission on the climate and environment. The major reason due to which the automobile sector had to conceive, discover, design, build, and bring the Electric vehicle (EV) technology into existence. Electric vehicle has the potential to address greenhouse emission and also it acts as an emerging tool for reducing air pollution and providing a clean transportation system. Just in few numbers of years the rapid rise in EV technology has been observed with a huge growth and demand of public. Keeping the advantages and disadvantages in mind of EV from environmental point of view has been discussed. The most important factor for EV technology used is the batteries, hence a thorough study of battery technology- from Lithium batteries to lead acid batteries is analysed. The charging method, standards, and optimization techniques is also been discussed with the essential characteristics of EV technology used in vehicle. Further future trends, demand, supply in EV technology is provided.
