Book a Test Drive. What is NEV? Put simply, NEV stands for New Energy Vehicles and is categorised as any electrified vehicle, meaning conventional plugless hybrids (HEVs), plug
A new battery with higher power density is proposed to minimize the energy losses. Before its integration in car, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop tests are achieved. For the HiL part, a real-time simulation of the powertrain is coupled to the battery to test various driving conditions. A dedicated emulation interface is developed.
This paper presents a new approach to life estimation for lithium-ion batteries used in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) applications. A new framework for battery
The key to improving the fuel economy of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) lies in the energy management strategy (EMS). Existing EMS often neglects engine operating
This paper first puts forward the concept of statistical energy consumption and then proposes an innovative calculation method of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle energy consumption based on statistical energy consumption by referring to and analyzing the energy consumption test regulations of the United States, the European Union, and China.
