Hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle performance testing by the US Department of Energy Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity

Optimal charging strategies of electric vehicles in the UK power market

“…active power transmission from node α C E emission costs in the energy system C P electricity costs in the energy system C PE electricity and emission costs in the energy system P LECTRIC vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are set to be introduced into the mass market after extensive research and development from auto manufacturers [1], [2]. The introductions of these new types of vehicles, which obtain their fuel from the grid by charging a battery, signify that the electrification of the transport sector is imminent.…”

Infantry mobility hybrid electric vehicle performance analysis and design

“…This is because it has been imposed a minimum batteries charge, around a 30% of the total capacity, that does not affect energy flow optimization and that seeks to maximize batteries service life [30]. Table 5 shows main simulation results for driving cycles A, B and C. It can be observed that as higher mean power cycle, minor maximum optimal batteries capacity is.…”

Strategic thoughts on the promotions of electric mobility

“…Currently, the number of the cars in the whole world is about 800 million, which increases at the rate of 30 million per year and will reach one billion by 2010. According to the U.S. Energy Department's long-term estimates, in 2050 global vehicle population will grow to 3.5 billion, of which that of the developed countries increased by about double, while that of the developing countries 15 times [10][11][12]. Under the traditional mobility pattern, on the one hand, the global oil supply will be unsustainable; on the other hand, the development of innovative vehicles [13][14][15][16], e.g.…”
