INTRODUCTION
The automotive industry has become one of the most important world-wide industries,
not only at economic level, but also in terms of research and development. Increasingly,
there are more technological elements that are being introduced on the vehicles towards the
improvement of both passengers and pedestrians’ safety. In addition, there is a greater
number of vehicles on the roads, which allows for us to move quickly and comfortably.
However, this has led to a dramatic increase in air pollution levels in urban environments
(i.e., pollutants, such as PM, nitrogen oxides (NOX), CO, sulfur dioxide (SO2), etc.).
In addition, and according to a report by the European Union, the transport sector is
responsible for nearly 28% of the total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, while the road
transport is accountable for over 70% of the transport sector emissions. Therefore, the
authorities of most developed countries are encouraging the use of Electric Vehicles (EVs) to
avoid the concentration of air pollutants, CO2, as well as other greenhouse gases. More
specifically, they promote sustainable and efficient mobility through different initiatives,
mainly through tax incentives, purchase aids, or other special measures, such as free public
parking or the free use of motorways. EVs offer the following advantages over traditional
vehicles:
Zero emissions: this type of vehicles neither emit tailpipe pollutants, CO2, nor
nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Also, the manufacture processes tend to be more
respectful with the environment, although battery manufacturing adversely affects
carbon footprint.
Simplicity: the number of Electric Vehicle (EV) engine elements is smaller, which
leads to a much cheaper maintenance. The engines are simpler and more compact,
they do not need a cooling circuit, and neither is necessary for incorporating
gearshift, clutch, or elements that reduce the engine noise.
Reliability: having less, and more simple, components makes this type of vehicles
have fewer breakdowns. In addition, EVs do not suffer of the inherent wear and tear
produced by engine explosions, vibrations, or fuel corrosion.
Cost: the maintenance cost of the vehicle and the cost of the electricity required is
much lower in comparison to maintenance and fuel costs of traditional combustion
vehicles. The energy cost per kilometer is significantly lower in EVs than in
traditional vehicles.
Comfort: traveling in EVs is more comfortable, due to the absence of
vibrations or engine noise.
Efficiency: EVs are more efficient than traditional vehicles. However, the overall
well to wheel (WTW) efficiency will also depend on the power plant efficiency. For
instance, total WTW efficiency of gasoline vehicles ranges from 11% to 27%,
whereas diesel vehicles range from 25% to 37%. By contrast, EVs fed by a natural
gas power plant show a WTW efficiency that ranges from 13% to 31%, whereas
EVs fed by renewable energy show an overall efficiency up to 70%.
Accessibility: this type of vehicle allows for access to urban areas that are not
allowed to other combustion vehicles (e.g., low emissions zones). EVs do not suffer
from the same traffic restrictions in large cities, especially at high peaks of
contamination level. Interestingly, there was a recent OECD study that suggests that,
at least in terms of Particulate Matter (PM) emissions, EVs will unfortunately not
improve the air quality situation
Driving range: range is typically limited from 200 to 350 km with a full charge,
although this issue is being continually improved. For example, the Nissan Leaf has
a maximum driving range of 364 km, and the Tesla Model S can reach more than
500 km.
Charging time: full charging the battery pack can take 4 to 8 h. Even a “fast
charge” to 80% capacity can take 30 min. For example, Tesla superchargers can
charge the Model S up to 50% in only 20 min, or 80% in half an hour.
Battery cost: large battery packs are expensive.
Bulk and weight: battery packs are heavy and take up considerable vehicle space. It
is assumed that the batteries of this type of vehicles have an approximate weight of
200 kg, which can vary, depending on the battery capacity.
CHAPTER-II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Let's start by considering the legacy vehicle technology: the internal combustion
engine, or ICE. The technology is conventional, well-established, and reliable, but it
consumes large amounts of gasoline—which can be costly in many ways.
The hybrid electric vehicle was the first EV technology to reach the modern vehicle
market. HEVs, such as the Toyota Prius and Lexus CT-200-H, are popular because of their
increased fuel efficiency. These vehicles combine an internal combustion engine and an
electric motor with a small battery for storing electricity. Although an HEV is only fueled
by gasoline, the vehicle's battery is also used to power the electric motor. The electricity
stored in the battery primarily comes from recapturing energy through regenerative braking.
This use of recaptured energy is one of the reasons an HEV is more fuel-efficient than a
typical ICE vehicle.
The final type of electric vehicle technology is the battery electric vehicle. This
vehicle has no internal combustion engine and is powered only by the battery and electric
motor. BEVs don't use gasoline and are only charged by EVSE. A BEV has the largest
battery of all the vehicle types. It's also the most energy efficient and produces zero tailpipe
emissions.
Because each vehicle type incorporates different technologies, the range these
vehicles can travel differs as well. ICE vehicles—fueled only on gasoline—typically can
travel 350 to 450 miles on a full tank of gas.
Hybrid electric vehicles are more efficient in their use of gasoline and typically can travel
550 to 700 miles. Although they do have a battery and electric motor, this battery is only
fueled during a typical drive cycle and is not a primary source of propulsion. However, due
to regenerative
braking, this small battery is the primary reason for the hybrid's increased fuel efficiency
and range.
The larger battery in a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle enables the vehicle to operate in all-
electric mode, typically traveling 20 to 40 miles just on electricity. PHEVs are designed to
support average daily commutes and easy overnight recharging using a standard outlet. After
most of the energy in the battery is depleted, the vehicle can operate in hybrid mode for
longer distances, running off gasoline and using a small portion of the battery to support the
electric drivetrain, for a full vehicle range of 450 to 550 miles.
Finally, a battery electric vehicle has the simplest and most efficient drivetrain with a
typical battery range of 150 to 300 miles. BEVs can be charged overnight using standard
residential Level 2 EVSE.
The most noticeable difference between driving an electric vehicle and a conventional
ICE vehicle is regenerative braking. Regenerative braking means the electric motor is
operated in reverse, thereby applying a braking force through electromagnetism. This
recaptures some of the vehicle's kinetic energy by charging the battery. Some electric vehicle
models have specific driving modes that incorporate varying levels of regenerative braking.
Under normal driving conditions, an EV such as the Tesla Model S engages regenerative
braking to slow the vehicle when the driver removes their foot from the accelerator. The
“Standard” setting provides the maximum amount of regenerative braking power— it
recaptures the most energy and reduces wear and tear on the brakes. Alternately, the “Low”
setting incorporates a reduced regenerative braking force that recaptures less energy but
allows the vehicle to coast farther than in the “Standard” mode.
An EV like the Tesla Model S also has specific settings for how the braking systems
operate when the vehicle is stopped or moving at very low speeds. The “Creep” mode is
designed to replicate the idling speed of an ICE vehicle. It disengages regenerative
braking and applies a small amount of motor torque when stopped, or at low speeds when
the driver's foot is off the
accelerator. This feature is most commonly used in a parking lot when searching for a
place to park.
In all of these braking modes, the brake pedal is always available and operates the same
way as in a conventional vehicle under emergency braking conditions.
Regenerative braking modes vary with each vehicle make and model. For example, the
Nissan Leaf provides three levels of regenerative braking modes, and the Chevrolet Bolt's
system involves depressing paddles next to the steering wheel to maximize regenerative
braking and bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
The “Auto EV” mode incorporates an optimized combination of battery energy and gasoline
to provide the most efficient use of both fuel sources. This mode is ideal for travel at faster
highway speeds.
The “EV Now” mode relies entirely on the battery and electric drivetrain, which results in
zero tailpipe emissions, similar to a battery electric vehicle.
Finally, the “EV Later” mode conserves battery capacity for use later in a trip. This mode is
ideal for trips that combine traveling at highway and in-town speeds. It uses the combustion
engine at highway speeds and reserves energy for “EV Now” mode during a later portion of
the trip, when the electric drivetrain is most efficient.
All plug-in electric vehicles, including plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles,
use electric vehicle supply equipment, or EVSE, to charge their batteries.
There are three common types of EVSE. The first is referred to as a Level 1 charger.
Typically, these units are portable cordsets that run off a standard 120-volt household
outlet, and provide approximately 2 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging. This is the
most affordable type of charger, but it is limited in the daily range it can supply to a
vehicle. Therefore, this application is most common for PHEVs with smaller batteries, or
for BEV drivers with a short daily commute to work.
Level 2 chargers provide more energy per hour and run off 208 or 240 volts. These chargers
are more expensive and are typically installed as permanent pedestal-style or wall-mounted
units. They provide a vehicle with about 10 to 20 miles of range per hour of charging. This
is the most common application for long-range BEVs, as well as workplace and public
charging stations.
Finally, a DC Fast Charger is the most expensive type of charger, but it provides the most
energy per hour to the vehicle. A standard DC Fast Charger can provide 60 to 80 miles of
range in about 20 minutes. These chargers are most common along highways, and are only
recommended to support occasional long-distance trips—because frequently charging the
battery at such a high power level can lead to battery degradation.
However, electric vehicles can be charged on-site or off-site at wall outlets, simple EVSE
units, and networked units. Although many of these charging units can record and store
transactions, some of the most-affordable EVSE may not. Therefore, the recommended
method for measuring energy consumption—expressed in kilowatt-hours—is through
telematics.
Telematics platforms commonly capture kilowatt-hours and display them in an online
dashboard. A fleet manager can select a custom date range to find a vehicle's energy
consumption in kilowatt-hours over a certain time period. This date range can be applied to
all of the electric vehicles in a fleet, providing the information necessary for annual federal
fleet reporting.
Networked or smart-EVSE units are another good source of energy consumption information. These units frequently
have online dashboards, similar to telematics, that capture energy consumption by vehicle. These dashboards are
often accessible through smart phone applications as well. However, if the vehicle is occasionally charged on another
network, the data from the primary EVSE unit may be incomplete. In this case, drivers should try to collect
information from off-site charging stations to supplement the data from their primary EVSE unit.
The vehicles themselves also often display energy consumption or vehicle efficiency on their physical dashboard.
Some vehicle models show lifetime energy consumption, so federal fleet managers will need to check the kilowatt-
hours consumed annually to complete their FAST reports. However, if the vehicle displays the lifetime efficiency
in miles per kilowatt-hour, fleet managers will need to divide the annual vehicle miles traveled by the vehicle
efficiency to determine annual energy consumed.
If all else fails, the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program has a simple way to
estimate vehicle energy consumption: Take the vehicle's annual mileage reading and multiply it by the vehicle's
fuel economy, listed in kilowatt-hours per mile on Fueleconomy.gov.

11. Rise in sale of Electric vehicle as a result of Govt policies.
Chart and table no: 11
Every car sold in India from 2030 will be electric, under new government plans that have
delighted environmentalists and dismayed the oil industry.
It’s hoped that by ridding India’s roads of petrol and diesel cars in the years ahead, the
country will be able to reduce the harmful levels of air pollution that contribute to a
staggering 1.2 million deaths per year.
India’s booming economy has seen it become the world’s third-largest oil importer, shelling
out $150 billion annually for the resource – so a switch to electric-powered vehicles would
put a sizable dent in demand for oil. It’s been calculated that the revolutionary move would
save the country $60 billion in energy costs by 2030, while also reducing running costs for
millions of Indian car owners.
12. Predicted BEV charging load revenue for utilities.
Chart and table no: 12
Year Revenue ( ₹ in Cr)
2020 ₹2000
2025 ₹7000
2030 ₹82000
The estimated revenue from the BEV charging load in 2020 is ₹2000 Cr,
in 2025 is ₹7000 Cr, and in 2030 is ₹82000 Cr.
Although the additional load due to BEV charging is minor, that could still serve as a
valuable additional revenue source for the financially distressed distribution utilities, as
shown in above Figure. Assuming a marginal electricity tariff of Rs 9/kWh, by 2030, BEV
charging load could earn about Rs 80,000 Cr of additional revenue for utilities
Between 2015 and 2030, the commercial sector energy consumption is expected to nearly
double; assuming the average commercial tariff remains the same in real terms, by 2030, the
commercial sector revenue would also double (in real terms) i.e. Rs 84,000 Cr. In short, by
2030, the additional revenue due to BEV charging load would be comparable to that of the
commercial sector.
