Excerpt

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are expected to make a profound impact on the environment and global climate. However, market penetration of EVs is slow primarily because of higher cost, limited driving range with a fully charged battery and long battery charging time. This problem can be addressed by developing advanced power converters with increased energy efficiency and lower cost compared to the current state-of-the-art solutions. …
