Abstract

This issue of IEEE Design&Test is about power for electric vehicles, a subject of increasing importance. One particularly interesting article for me was the one by Korosh Vatanparvar and Mohammad Abdullah Al Faruque. This article notes that battery usage depends on speed and route, and that a slower route could save battery and thus extend the range of the car. The authors also note that this slower route might involve more usage of heating and air conditioning, which decreases range, and finding the energy-optimal route must include this factor. The authors generate energy-efficient routes as part of this work. This might be a nice addition to Google Maps and other route-finding apps, which find the fastest routes unless you tell the tool otherwise.
