Behaviour of Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles : Battery Health, Performance, Safety, and Cost Paperback / softback

Edited by Gianfranco Pistoia, Boryann Liaw

Part of the Green Energy and Technology series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book surveys state-of-the-art research on and developments in lithium-ion batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles.

It summarizes their features in terms of performance, cost, service life, management, charging facilities, and safety.

Vehicle electrification is now commonly accepted as a means of reducing fossil-fuels consumption and air pollution.

At present, every electric vehicle on the road is powered by a lithium-ion battery. Currently, batteries based on lithium-ion technology are ranked first in terms of performance, reliability and safety.

Though other systems, e.g., metal-air, lithium-sulphur, solid state, and aluminium-ion, are now being investigated, the lithium-ion system is likely to dominate for at least the next decade – which is why several manufacturers, e.g., Toyota, Nissan and Tesla, are chiefly focusing on this technology. Providing comprehensive information on lithium-ion batteries, the book includes contributions by the world’s leading experts on Li-ion batteries and vehicles.
