Abstract

This chapter primarily aims at addressing the practical issues for commercialization of current and future plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and focuses primarily on power electronics based solutions for both current as well as future electric vehicle (EV) technologies. New PHEV power system architectures are discussed in detail. Key EV battery technologies are explained as well as corresponding battery management issues are summarized. Advanced power electronics intensive charging infrastructures for EVs and PHEVs are also discussed in detail.
