Battery Electric Vehicle and Applications

a battery electric vehicle (BEV) is a widely used type of electric vehicle (EV) that uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs. BEVs are becoming more attractive with the advancement of new battery technology that has higher power and energy density and allowing matching the requested autonomy and vehicle dynamics. However, EVs are still not competitive with conventional vehicles, in terms of limitation on the driving range caused by current power battery technology. Therefore, energy efficiency is one of the most important factors for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) because they are highly dependent on the aforementioned limitations. Hence, low-speed BEVs, which are for urban transportation, can be considered a promising solution. Electric vehicles (EVs) and their application raise new questions and demands. Accordingly, the charging process of electric vehicles is a novelty in everyday life when using such vehicles.
