Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained remarkable attention due to growing concerns over global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels in the last decade. The propulsion system in EVs comprises electric motors, which are fed by energy storage units through power electronic devices. Due to limitations of conventional energy storage systems in terms of cost, sizing, management, energy and power density, it has become necessary to have an energy generating unit along with the energy storage unit. Effective utilization of energy in EVs can be carried out with the incorporation of advanced power electronics technologies. This chapter reviews the various classifications of EVs, electrical propulsion systems, energy storage systems and energy management systems. This chapter also highlights the various issues to be considered for effective electrification in EVs.
