Comprehensive analysis on electric vehicle technology

The greenhouse gases (GHGs) released by ICE-powered transportation have become a significant source of environmental, economic, and social concern in the twenty first century. Also, the fossil fuel remains are depleting day by day and prices of gasoline which is needed to power the ICE engine are drastically rising to the sky limit. In the world of transportation systems, a new "sustainability" mantra is taking centre stage. The main strategy we can use to make sure the automotive sector is "sustainable" over the next fifty years is electrification of transportation. Electric vehicles (EVs), such as pure electric vehicles (PEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and fuel-cell electric vehicles (FEV), are becoming an appealing choice for road transportation due to rising concerns about energy diversification, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. This paper reviews the state of art of battery charging methods ie onboard and offboard charging associated at various power levels, various drives used in recent EV’s and their controls and comparison, and also gives the overview of isolated non isolated converter topologies and comparison on control strategies and lastly comparison on various battery parameters considering different batteries used in EV’s.
