An overview of electric Vehicle concept and power management strategies

Power management in electric Vehicle has been revolutionized since the old power structure introduced with first EVs. Today, it can be powered either by a single or a combination of multiple sources and driven by a single or a combination of multiple algorithms. This enhancement contributes in significantly better results. This paper reviews state-of-art on electric vehicle concept giving description for each sub-category, and then details power management strategies and charging techniques highlighting main problems and solutions. Finally, power management structure and future research direction are also discussed [1].
