EV battery charger with non-inverting output voltage-based bridgeless PFC Cuk converter
Bhim Singh,Radha Kushwaha +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an improved electric vehicle (EV) battery charger with a non-inverting output voltage-based bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) Cuk converter and a flyback converter is proposed for controlling the battery current in constant-current-constant-voltage charging regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An empirical study on consumer motives and attitude towards adoption of electric vehicles in India: Policy implications for stakeholders
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the motives behind users' attitude formation, behavioural intention, and word of mouth towards electric vehicles and found that while positive and social motives influence positive attitudes, negative motives discourage and negatively affect electric vehicle adoption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors influencing the intention to use electric cars in Brazil
Marina Buranelli de Oliveira,Hermes Moretti Ribeiro da Silva,Daniel Jugend,Paula De Camargo Fiorini,Carlos Eduardo Paro +4 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors identified the determinants of the intention to use electric cars in Brazil, and found that a perceived relative advantage and absence of complexity have a positive effect on the attitudes towards the use of electric cars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved parallel mild hybrids for urban roads
Ajay Babu,S. Ashok +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for maximising the performance of heavyweight hybrid vehicles is proposed, where the manipulation of the thresholds of the state of charge window of the battery of a parallel hybrid affects the performance when using the commonly employed electric power-assist strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessments on emergy and greenhouse gas emissions of internal combustion engine automobiles and electric automobiles in the USA.
TL;DR: Analysis on emergy index evidenced a better environmental sustainability of electric automobiles than ICE automobiles over the life cycle due to its higher ESI, the first time to integrate the analysis of GHG emissions together with emergy in industrial area of automobile engineering.

Vehicle-to-grid power fundamentals: Calculating capacity and net revenue
Willett Kempton,Jasna Tomić +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the three vehicle types that can produce V2G power and the power markets they can sell into, and developed equations to calculate the capacity for grid power from three types of electric drive vehicles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using fleets of electric-drive vehicles for grid support
Jasna Tomić,Willett Kempton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the economic potential of two utility-owned fleets of battery-electric vehicles to provide power for a specific electricity market, regulation, in four US regional regulation services markets was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of renewable energy into the transport and electricity sectors through V2G
Henrik Lund,Willett Kempton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two national energy systems are modelled, one for Denmark, including combined heat and power (CHP) and the other a similarly sized country without CHP (the latter being more typical of other industrialized countries).

Life cycle assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from plug-in hybrid vehicles: implications for policy.
TL;DR: Life cycle GHG emissions from PHEVs are assessed and it is found that they reduceGHG emissions by 32% compared to conventional vehicles, but have small reductions compared to traditional hybrids.
Impacts Assessment of Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles on Electric Utilities and Regional US Power Grids: Part 1: Technical Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the regional percentages of the energy requirements for the U.S. light duty vehicle stock that could be supported by the existing grid, based on 12 NERC regions.
