Abstract

This paper presents the main components of electric vehicles (EV) and the evolution of technologies used in them. The electric vehicles are gaining importance globally as it is seen as a factor of reducing air pollution and smog. This paper focuses on advantages of EVs compared to internal combustion engine (ICE)-based vehicles, different types of EVs and their greenhouse gas emissions, different types of EV motors and their developments, evolution of batteries and their advanced technologies, different types of battery management system (BMS), different types of powertrains and challenges encountered by different types of EVs. EVs are diversified and sophisticated, with different elegance options, but all with the reliability and power of conventional, gasoline-powered vehicles. The main aim of this paper is to give a general image of the present EV innovation and the ways for further improvement to aid future researches in this area.
