Abstract
The car electrification “pathway” can be identified in the following sequence: nonhybrid vehicles, namely, internal combustion engine (ICE) drive, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) (microhybrid, mild hybrid, full hybrid, plug-in hybrid), extended-range electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles (BEV). At least three large families of products should be considered: HEVs with ICE onboard, “pure” electric vehicles powered by batteries recharged from outlets, and fuel cell hydrogen vehicles. The hybrid electric models continue to increase in terms of importance and presence in the market. In the past few years, they were sold in millions of units in the world and are presently relying on a generation of satisfied car drivers ready to ask for drivetrains with an increased electric component.
