Abstract
Electric vehicles, consisting of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), and battery electric vehicle (BEV), are day by day becoming more common in the automobile companies and automotive sectors. As the recent trend suggests, this kind of transportation is going to substitute internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in the future scenario. The technologies present in EVs are getting prominent and attractive, for the industry as well as for the customers. EVs are making significant impact on the power system and environment with lesser number of sensors, miniaturized components, and reduction of greenhouse gases. In this chapter, we have given a small overview of different types of electric vehicles, then we have discussed in details about the different kinds of sensors and its design for electric vehicles as well as for automotive vehicles. Finally, we have reported about the present research on MEMS-based miniaturization going on for sensors and devices for various applications in EVs.
