| Summary: | Due to the increasing concerns on global warming as well as the increasing emphasis on building a greener city, there is a need to improve the carbon prints that are left in our society today. Transportation have been the result of up to 27% of the greenhouse gases in the world. In Singapore today, there is a total of over 600,000 motor vehicles. If we can convert half of the vehicular population to Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) or Fully Electric Vehicle (EV), it will be doing a great help to Mother Nature. The main reason why many people are still driving gasoline-powered vehicles is because gasoline is readily available island wide unlike the charging points for HEV and EVs. Thus, the focus of this project is to find alternative ways to prolong the battery capacity as well as alternative solutions to make these battery sources more readily available and reliable. This paper will examine the different types of batteries used currently as well as how the Battery Management System can be improved. |
