Evaluating the Reliability and Safety of Lithium-Ion Batteries in Electric Vehicles: Advancements, Challenges, and Environmental Considerations
Background: The global transportation sector is facing increasing challenges related to air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change. As a result, there is a growing need to shift towards cleaner and more sustainable modes of transportation. Electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant attention as a promising solution to reduce emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Central to the operation of EVs are lithium-ion batteries, which provide the necessary energy storage capacity for electric propulsion. Lithium-ion batteries have emerged as a leading technology in the field of energy storage due to their high energy density, low self-discharge rate, and versatile design options. However, ensuring the reliability and safety of these batteries remains a critical aspect for the widespread adoption of EVs. Figure 1 explain the Electric Vehicle architecture in details.
