Why is energy storage management important for EVs?

We offer an overview of the technical challenges to solve and trends for better energy storage management of EVs. Energy storage management is essential for increasing the range and efficiency of electric vehicles (EVs), to increase their lifetime and to reduce their energy demands.

What is the electrochemical energy storage technical team?

The Electrochemical Energy Storage Technical Team is one of 12 U.S. DRIVE technical teams whose mission is to accelerate the development of pre‐competitive and innovative technologies to enable a full range of efficient and clean advanced light‐duty vehicles, as well as related energy infrastructure.

What is the drive electrochemical energy storage roadmap?

The U.S. DRIVE electrochemical energy storage roadmap is a plan to develop electrochemical energy storage technologies for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs). It describes ongoing and planned efforts in this area.

Is repurposing EV batteries a sustainable solution?

The concept of a circular economy — in which materials are re-used, repurposed and recycled 188 — is gaining traction as a solution to sustainability challenges associated with electric vehicle (EV) energy storage (see the figure, part a). Repurposing EV batteries is an important approach 189.

What are energy storage and management technologies?

Energy storage and management technologies are key in the deployment and operation of electric vehicles (EVs). To keep up with continuous innovations in energy storage technologies, it is necessary to develop corresponding management strategies. In this Review, we discuss technological advances in energy storage management.

What are battery management technologies & how do they help EVs?

Battery management technologies enable EVs to charge faster and more safely, and can also help with battery recycling at the end of an EV’s life cycle. Embedded sensing and self-healing techniques of smart batteries enable more precise battery management.
