A Critical Review of Emerging Technologies for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Abstract

Emerging topics such asenvironmental protection and energy utilization have pushed research and development of electric vehicles and hybrid electricvehicles (EVs/HEVs). In the last few decades, numerous technologies have been developed for EV/HEVimportance. In this article, key research topics in the area of EVs/HEVs, namely electric machines, electrochemical energy sources, wireless charging infrastructure, and latest EV/HEV models are covered. This paper aims to consolidate the key emerging technologies in this field and provide the readers a blueprint to begin their own journeys.
