2. Electric Vehicles and the Future of Energy Efficient Transportation
2021 by Subramaniam, Umashankar, Williamson, Sheldon S., Krishna S., Mohan, J. L., Febin Daya
The gradual ascent of electric vehicles in the global automotive landscape, driven by escalating pollution levels attributed to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, has ushered in a transformative era. Electric vehicles offer a multifaceted advantage encompassing cost-efficiency, energy conservation, and environmental sustainability. They boast significantly lower operational and maintenance expenses compared to their traditional counterparts while curbing harmful exhaust emissions, particularly when powered by renewable energy sources. Despite these merits, the widespread adoption of electric vehicles remains uneven, with many developing and underdeveloped nations yet to embrace this eco-conscious shift. This tepid enthusiasm can be primarily attributed to the substantial capital investment required for charging infrastructure and the gradual transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources in energy generation. The shortage of charging stations, coupled with grid integration challenges, underscores the need for comprehensive solutions to fortify the future of energy-efficient transportation. "Electric Vehicles and the Future of Energy Efficient Transportation" delves into this transformative journey, scrutinizing the growth and integration of electric vehicles into sustainable transportation solutions. It provides a critical assessment from economic, technological, and environmental perspectives, encompassing topics such as electric vehicle architecture, wireless power transfer, battery management, and the utilization of renewable resources. This book serves as a valuable resource for stakeholders in the automotive industry, policymakers, engineers, researchers, and students seeking current insights into the technology, economics, policies, and environmental dimensions of electric vehicles.
