Abstract:

In this paper, the main features and advantages of battery based energy storage systems are discussed, providing some insight into the critical battery metrics needed to evaluate batteries for automotive applications. An comparative analysis is presented of the main types of batteries that are used or could be used in PEVs (Plug In Electric Vehicles), in particular Sodium Sulphur, Zinc Air, lead acid, nickel metal hydride and the now popular lithium based batteries. The analysis of battery issues is finalized with a detailed discussion of the effects of battery energy capacity on PEV design, uptake, and charging technologies and infrastructure, including battery switching, in view of the issues associated with IRAN’s warm climate.
