Abstract:Vehicles are part of urban area transport and are subjected to variable loads as they traverse the city with varying slopes and stop-and-go traffic. Electric Vehicles (EVs) can be a good option because of their high efficiency under stop-and-go conditions and ability to gain energy from braking. However, limited battery energy makes EVs less efficient and degrades their lifetime. In contrast to a Li-Ion battery, supercapacitors work well under high power charge and discharge cycles. However, their high cost an… Show more
