Driven by multiple forces such as the rapid development of battery technology, environmental and energy issues, and government policies, the global automotive industry is accelerating its transition towards electric vehicles (EVs). However, there are still some challenges of key technologies for EVs, including battery energy density limitations, battery management technology, construction of charging infrastructure, etc. This perspective explores the future development and prospects of key technologies for EVs, which mainly focus on predicting future technologies of four main aspects: next-generation battery, fast charging and wireless charging, integration of autonomous and artificial intel...

The Coulomb counting method is simple and effective in terms of state of charge (SOC) estimation of lithium-ion batteries. However, if the current measurement is not accurate, it will cause a cumulative calculation error, which will gradually increase with the time. And if the ambient temperature changes, the available capacity and initial SOC of the battery will also change. In order to solve the shortcomings of the traditional Coulomb counting method of SOC estimation, an improved method was proposed in this paper by taking into account the influence of battery temperature and aging on SOC. It can correct the initial value of SOC and the maximum available capacity of the battery more accur... More >
