“…The crashworthiness defines the ability of the vehicle structure to sufficiently provide protection in the accident involving persons against body injury and protect its cargo against damage during an accident [29]. Apart from safety, crashworthiness has a key contribution toward development of safe, reliable, and comfortable vehicles.…”

Electric vehicles (EVs) are currently emerging as alternative vehicles due to their high energy efficiency and low emissions during driving. However, regarding the raising concern, the safety of EVs can further be improved before they completely replace conventional vehicles. This paper focuses on reviewing the safety requirements of EVs, especially those powered by Li-ion battery, based on the mechanical abuse tests from the international standards, national standards, regulations and other laboratories standards, and safety of occupants from the regulations and safety programs. Moreover, the publicly reported real-world fire incidents of EVs based on road crashes were collected and reviewed. The objective is to highlight the gap and challenges arose between the current safety requirements and real-world fire incidents of EVs and provide the way for assisting the future research in the area of EV safety, particularly light duty passenger vehicle. The serious challenges observed include high impact speed, multi-crashes per incident, multiple barriers of different types involved in the accident, and post-crash safety (serious injury and demise) of occupants and rescue teams. While addressing these challenges, this review will aid researchers and manufacturers working in batteries, EVs, and fire safety engineering to narrow the gap and enhance the safety of future EVs in areas of battery materials, fire extinguishing, and vehicle’s body structure.

“…Now people compared with traditional fuel vehicles to the requirement of pure electric vehicles, not only to meet the requirement of safety and handling stability, and also for the car comfort, lightweight, pollution index put forward higher request, in the past to the traditional design method of fuel car already cannot satisfy the requirement of the pure electric vehicles now use [1][2]. At present, the frame of electric vehicles only uses the old models and only changes the power system.…”

As one of the important parts of the automobile, the frame bears the mass load of the cab, powertrain and all other parts, and bears the vibration, impact and distortion from the road under different working conditions. If it can meet the performance requirements of the frame, improve the utilization rate of materials and realize the lightweight of the frame, it will be very valuable for engineering use. This paper mainly studies the development strategy design of new energy vehicles integrated with finite volume method. Firstly, this paper analyzes the principle and application of finite volume method, establishes the finite element model of local topology optimization of electric vehicle frame in Hypermesh, and uses genetic algorithm to complete the multi-condition topology optimization of electric vehicle frame in Hypermesh. A three-dimensional model of small electric vehicle frame based on topology optimization results was constructed.
