Developments and future prospects of electric vehicle technologies

Abstract

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are rising from the transportation sector, which is responsible for global climate change because this sector still runs on fossil fuels. However, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant attention due to their potential to reduce GHG emissions. Many countries are investing in the development of electric vehicle technologies and infrastructure to support their widespread adoption. The research being conducted globally aims to improve battery technology and fuel cell (FC) technology, increase vehicle range, and enhance charging infrastructure to make electric vehicles more practical and accessible to a larger population. This study presents different EV technology achievements with various mitigation methods based on a recent publication. The chapter begins with an overview of EV technology and energy consumption methods, followed by a detailed discussion of current and future battery charging technology. This concept involves the integration of electric vehicles with the city infrastructure, allowing for seamless charging and integration with other smart systems. Additionally, the next generation of EVs is expected to have longer battery life and faster charging capabilities, making them even more convenient for users. Wireless power transfer is also expected to eliminate the need for physical charging stations, further enhancing the user experience and expanding the reach of EVs in a smart city environment. Overall, the future of electric vehicles looks promising, with advancements in technology and smart city integration paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient transportation system. This proposed topic is very wide and informative. As a result, the study highlights the significance of new technology and the need for research to contribute to the future development of electric vehicles worldwide. In conclusion, the study resolved that a better reception of EV energy usage and storage would reduce CO2 emissions.
