Abstract :
In this paper, the current status and the requirements of primary electric propulsion components-the battery, the electric motors, and the power electronics system-are reviewed. The future trends in the electric propulsion systems, battery charging, and the types of power trains are presented. Possible future electric vehicle powertrain systems based on lithium air battery and plug-in fuel cell vehicles are also discussed.
