Optimizing Electric Vehicle Battery Performance: Comprehensive Study of Battery Heating Challenges and Sustainable Battery Swapping System

Abstract

This paper conducts a comprehensive study on battery heating challenges in electric vehicles (EVs) and proposes a sustainable battery swapping system to optimize battery performance. With the increasing demand for EVs and the necessity for extended driving ranges, notable progress has been achieved in battery technologies. However, battery heating remains a crucial concern, particularly in cold weather conditions. This research thoroughly examines various factors contributing to battery heating, including battery size, chemistry, design, and ambient conditions. Diverse battery heating techniques, such as insulation and thermal management systems, are extensively analyzed. Underlining the significance of effective battery heating solutions, this study emphasizes the importance of maintaining an optimal battery temperature to enhance performance and prolong battery life. Additionally, the paper introduces a sustainable battery swapping system controlled by a Blynk app and Node MCU controller, facilitating seamless battery replacement and promoting the integration of renewable energy sources. This system ensures uninterrupted EV operation while providing users complete control and real-time monitoring capabilities via mobile devices, revolutionizing the EV charging paradigm.
