The main focus of the paper is on batteries as it is the key component in making electric vehicles more environment-friendly, cost-effective and drives the EVs into use in day to day life. Various ESS topologies including hybrid combination technologies such as hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), plug-in HEV (PHEV) and many more have been discussed.
Currently, lithium batteries are paramount in EVs, comprising a substantial portion of the EV's cost, weight, and volume. Typically, the battery pack accounts for about 30%‒40% of the total cost of an EV. This underscores the importance of efficient battery recycling; we will talk about recycling in a later section.
For the battery to be used in EVs, the primary parameter is the energy density of the cell which decides the EV's driving range, speed, and accelerations. Hence, the most recognized material is lithium-ion cells because of its excellent energy to volume ratio/weight.
Innovations in battery design aim to increase energy density, allowing more energy to be stored in smaller, lighter packs. This not only improves the range and efficiency of EVs but also enhances the vehicle's overall usability and comfort.
On top of batteries, battery management is crucial to ensure the reliable and safe operation of EV batteries. During the charge/discharge cycling, it facilitates the batteries to exert their optimal performance and prolong their service lives.
The following energy storage systems are used in all-electric vehicles, PHEVs, and HEVs. Lithium-ion batteries are currently used in most portable consumer electronics such as cell phones and laptops because of their high energy per unit mass and volume relative to other electrical energy storage systems.
