A Comprehensive Review for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) Drive Circuits Technology, Operations, and Challenges

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining more and more traction as a viable option in the automotive sector. This mode of transportation is currently on track, according to current trends, to totally replace internal combustion engine (ICE) cars in the not-too-distant future. The economic system, the energy infrastructure, and the environment are just a few of the areas where electric vehicles could have a major impact. The transportation industry produces the second-most carbon dioxide gas from the combustion of fossil fuels, making it the second-highest contributor to global warming. A lot of people are looking to EVs, or electric vehicles, as a possible game-changing answer to this problem. Since an electric motor drives the electric vehicle’s propeller instead of an internal combustion engine, electric vehicles can reduce their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compared to traditional automobiles. If coupled with renewable energy sources, EVs might theoretically become emission-free automobiles. In this paper, we will examine the various EV drive circuit types, including their construction and the benefits and drawbacks of employing each. This article discusses the current state of battery technology with an emphasis on EV batteries. This article discusses the best electric motor for EVs in terms of efficiency, power density, fault tolerance, dependability, cost, and more. Next, we conduct in-depth research into the difficulties and potential rewards of EV adoption in the future. While improvements in areas like charging times and battery performance are encouraging, government regulation of EVs remains a big non-technical barrier.

Enhancing electric vehicle charging performance through series-series topology resonance-coupled wireless power transfer

“…The contemporary global shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) is driven by a dual motivation: the imperative to reduce polluting emissions from traditional fossil fuel-powered cars, and the economic advantages associated with lower maintenance costs and the use of cleaner energy alternatives [1][2][3]. However, despite these advantages, the widespread adoption of EVs is hindered by two limiting factors: driving range and the charging process [4][5][6].…”

Sustainable Vehicles for Decarbonizing the Transport Sector: A Comparison of Biofuel, Electric, Fuel Cell and Solar-Powered Vehicles

“…Mostly, in the early 1900s, women used electric cars for transportation. The history of electric vehicles (EVs) dates back to the 19th century when inventors started experimenting with electric-powered cars [86]. In the early 1800s, inventors like Robert Anderson and Ányos Jedlik created some of the earliest electric vehicles, and with advancements in technology, electric cars gained traction.…”

Electric or gasoline: a simple model to decide when buying a new vehicle

“…The range of energy autonomy has experienced a substantial boost, expanding from 100-150 km to more than 400 km [14]. Battery storage capacity has undergone a significant improvement, due to the development of different types of electrochemical cells, of increasing from 110 W • h/kg in 2010 to 250 W • h/kg in 2020 [15]. Similarly, throughout the same decade, there has been a parallel enhancement of energy density within the battery, rising from 310 W • h/L to more than 500 W • h/L [14], whereas the cost of batteries has experienced a remarkable reduction, dropping from 1000 USD/kW • h to 150 USD/kW • h [16].…”
