In recent years, the research of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) focuses on energy storage systems, drive system and control strategy. However, one of the important subjects to enhance the performance of BEV is to research the parameters of transmissi...
This paper describes the results from Annex XII “Heavy-duty hybrid vehicles” of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Implementing Agreement on “Hybrid and Electric Vehicles” (IA-HEV). Since 1993, this Implementing Agreement has provided a platform t...
Electric vehicle is considered to be the solution for energy crisis and environment pollution in individual transportation. However, electric vehicles are still not competitive with conventional vehicles limited by the driving range with the state-of...
A 288V/8Ah manganese type Li-ion battery system for hybrid electric vehicle was developed. The performances of single-cell and battery system were tested. For the single-cell, the discharge power and regen power are more than 312.5W and 250W at 45-85...
The sulfur-containing PAN composite cathode materials for lithium/sulfur batteries were prepared by suspension polymerization method and electrochemical properties of lithium/sulfur cells were investigated. The sulfur composite cathode was characteri...
The widespread introduction of electrically-propelled vehicles is currently part of many political strategies and introduction plans. These new vehicles, ranging from limited (mild) hybrid to plug-in hybrid to fully-battery powered, will rely on a ne...
There have been a number of recent reports of the current and projected costs of advanced batteries for electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). These studies have focused on lithium-ion batteries as the most attractive option...
Battery cost and battery capacity are key factors to determine whether or not electric vehicles would be used widely. Having a high energy density, lithium-ion battery can improve the mileage range of electric vehicles, yet the battery cost remains h...
Ultracapacitors are potentially promising power-augmentation devices in hybrid powertrains. A commercial ultracapacitor module was characterized under standard procedures to assess its performance. Tests were carried out on a platform, with which amb...
This paper proposes a smart lithium-ion battery capacity estimation method for electric bicycles. Battery capacity information informs the electric vehicle driver of the residual battery working time, thus facilitating the estimation of mileage of el...
