| Summary: | ABSTRACT
Successful commercialization of electric vehicles will require a confluence of technology, market, economic,
and political factors that transform EVs into an attractive choice for consumers. The characteristics of the traction
battery will playa critical role in this transformation. The relationship between battery characteristics such as power,
capacity and efficiency, and EV customer satisfaction are discussed based on real world experience. A general
problem, however, is that electrical energy can hardly be stored. In general, the storage of electrical energy requires
its conversion into another form of energy. Electrical energy is typically obtained through conversion of chemical
energy stored in devicessuch as batteries. In batteries the energy of chemical compoundsacts as storage medium,
and during discharge, a chemicalprocess occurs that generates energy which can be drawn from the battery in form of an electric current at a certain voltage.A computer simulation is developed to examine overall battery design with the MATLAB/Simulink.Battery modelling with this program have error level less than 5%.
