Abstract

The publication presents a proposal of methodology for the evaluation of electric vehicle energy storage, based on examples of three types of batteries. Energy stores are evaluated in different categories such as cost, reliability, total range, energy density, battery life, weight, dependency on ambient temperature, and requirements of battery conditioning system. The performance of the battery systems were analyzed on exemplary 4 × 4 vehicle with 4 independent drives systems composed of inverters and synchronous in-wheel motors. The studies showed that the best results were obtained for energy storage built on LFP prismatic batteries, and the lowest ranking was given to energy storage built on cylindrical NMC batteries. The studies present the method of aggregation of optimization criteria as a valuable methodology for assessing design requirements and the risk of traction batteries in electric vehicles.
