Abstract

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been introduced into the car market but its application has been limited to town use owing to mainly poor battery performance. Superior battery storage energy and power density are required for present systems to be considered for wider range of use. Compared with the well used EV/HEV battery Nickel Metal Hydride and others Lithium-ion battery has superior performance but is only widely used in electrical devices. Lithium-ion battery technology is rarely used in EV/HEVs because of the severe environment of the vehicles. This paper will show the improvements made to overcome this hurdle and present the public road test results of EV propulsion applications of this technology.
