The One

<p> There is a simple concept that can significantly improve the environmental balance of battery electric vehicles and at the same time avoid the known disadvantages of these vehicles (short range, long charging times, high acquisition costs) without having to wait for further developed batteries or a higher proportion of green electricity. For this purpose, the vehicles are equipped with built-in batteries for short and medium distances and are therefore sufficient for the majority of daily journeys. For long-distance journeys, the driver borrows charged additional battery packs at swapping stations, which are automatically inserted into a standardised exchange slot within a few minutes. This paper focuses on the improvements in electric vehicles that can be achieved by combining built-in and exchangeable battery technique and also on the practical feasibility of the concept. It is shown that the battery capacity required for the entire vehicle fleet can be significantly reduced. The resulting ecological advantages on the one hand and grid-stabilising effects of a nationwide network of swapping stations on the other hand, support the transition to environmentally sustainable mobility. The characteristics of the concept presented are advantageous for its practical implementation. The acceptance by customers and manufacturers can thus be improved compared to previous battery swapping systems. The loan system for the exchange batteries may be designed conveniently and information security as well as data protection will be strictly complied.</p>

Purpose The research aims to clarify and give insights on the importance of entrepreneurial orientation for sustained mobility through the four business models which are currently operational in different regions of the world for supporting the commercialization drive of electric vehicles (EVs). Design/methodology/approach By drawing on extant literature, the author develops systematic business frameworks undergirded by the triad of entrepreneurial orientation (innovation, risk-taking and proactiveness) depicting enablers of value creation, capturing and adoption barriers related to EVs. These multidimensional frameworks are then used to analyse the selected business models for their strengths and weaknesses. Findings The findings of the research underlined the importance of adopting entrepreneurial orientation, conceiving flexible business model, forging inter-industry partnerships and leveraging on shared resources as prime requirements for achieving success in EV segment. Research limitations/implications This study underlines the importance of entrepreneurial orientation and has the recommendations for the entrepreneurs, the EV companies and the policymakers. Originality/value This study fulfils the identified need of developing entrepreneurial orientation and sound business models for EVs.

Battery has drawn much more attention due to the accelerating development of Electric Vehicle (EV) and Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) for sustainable mobility. It is worthwhile to study the dynamic model of battery in order to achieve better performance in power management. This paper proposes a nonlinear dynamic battery model for PHEV power management. First, an existing RC equivalent circuit is used to simulate the dynamics of the battery states with respect to the input current. Then, a concept of nonlinear hysteresis degree is introduced, and is adopted to implement the mathematical description of the battery nonlinear boundary and scanning hysteresis. Finally, the dynamics and the nonlinear boundary (scanning) hysteresis are integrated into a comprehensive battery model with an affine nonlinear state-space equation. The effectiveness of the proposed model is verified using some simulation tests.

Driving Range

Sustainable mobility has recently become a priority of research for on-road vehicles. Shifting towards vehicle electrification is one of the most promising solutions concerning the reduction in pollutant emissions and greenhouse gases, especially for urban areas. Nevertheless, battery electric vehicles might carry substantial limitations compared with other technologies. Specifically, the electric range could be highly affected by the ageing process, non-optimal thermal management of the battery and cabin conditioning. In this paper, a model for the estimation of the residual range of electric vehicles is proposed accounting for the influence of battery state of health, battery pack temperature, power consumption of the main vehicle auxiliaries, and battery pre-heating on the residual driving range. The results of the model application to an L7 battery electric vehicle highlighted that the electric range can be highly affected by several factors related to real-world driving conditions and can consistently differ from nominal values.

The Battery is the most basic part of the Electric Vehicle, which serves as a major source of energy and gives it sustainable mobility. In electric vehicles, the technology that is highly recognized and used for energy storage is based on lithium chemistry. Nevertheless, the room for research is still open. This involves the collection of materials for the development of cells. The development of algorithms and the design of electronic circuits for a better and more efficient use of batteries is also one area of study. It is important to keep an eye on the critical operating parameters of the battery during charging for the optimum output of the batteries. A battery management system (BMS) is one of those mechanisms for monitoring internal and ambient battery temperature, current, voltage, and charging and discharge operations. Within this paper we speak about some of the popular battery control methods and framework. We also speak about the state-of-the-art device criteria for optimum battery efficiency and its general architecture.

H2 is considered the main contributor to accelerate the introduction of renewable energies (REs) however electricity is by no means the only efficient path to generate H2. Battery and fuel cell complement each other, pure battery car will not be the general solution for our future mobility needs, but the fuel cell on the other hand cannot perform well without a battery. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have the potential to meet short-term stringent regulations as well as fuel economy (FE) and CO2 goals, and can therefore be considered as the first step forward into global sustainable mobility (GSM) vision. In addition, efficient use of energy and fuel diversity is destined to emerge in the near future, allowing significant use of RE sources in the transportation sector. I will briefly discuss an analysis and simulation of the future vehicle propulsion systems (FVPSs) to meet a potential GSM vision as a long-term thinking that might produce better short-term decisions.

Electric Vehicle Adoption

This paper explores the procurement, use, and experience of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in Danish municipalities in relation to the notion of early adopters and socio-technical theory. Denmark has been one of the most ambitious countries in terms of electric vehicle adoption and use. This study used a combination of in-depth surveys and interviews with all 61 Danish municipalities on their fleet PEV experience and use. By building on the literature, the paper offers a deeper understanding of decision-making pathways for the procurement of PEVs. PEVs were found to be most suited to certain departments and the acceptance and uptake of PEVs was found to be complex and not straightforward.
