Abstract

The chapter 'Electric Vehicle Technology: Trends and Challenges' delves into the growing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) as a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming. It discusses the various types of EVs, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The chapter focuses on the technical challenges associated with EV adoption, particularly the development of battery technology. It compares different types of batteries used in EVs, such as lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride, and lithium-ion batteries, evaluating their energy density, power density, cycle life, and cost. The chapter also addresses the socio-economic challenges facing EV adoption, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complexities and potential of electric vehicle technology.
