The increase of vehicles on roads has caused two major problems, namely, traffic jams and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions.Generally, a conventional vehicle dissipates heat during consumption of approximately 85% of total fuel energy [2], [3] in terms of CO 2, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon, water, and other greenhouse gases (GHGs); 83.7% of
The energy storage control system of an electric vehicle has to be able to handle high peak power during acceleration and deceleration if it is to effectively manage power and energy flow. There are typically two main approaches used for regulating power and energy management (PEM) [ 104 ].
An electric vehicle relies solely on stored electric energy to propel the vehicle and maintain comfortable driving conditions. This dependence signifies the need for good energy management predicated on optimization of the design and operation of the vehicle''s energy system, namely energy storage and consumption systems.
