The Electric Vehicles Report 2011
SupplierBusiness, Feb 2011
This 2011 edition examines the key aspects of EV development and the issues affecting demand. The report includes detailed sections on EV Technology (batteries/energy storage/Ultra-Capacitors/Regenerative Braking), Electric Motors (Motor Technology, In-Wheel Motors, Electric Corner Modules, Range Extenders) and Grid connectivity and charging infrastructure (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (Evse), Inductive Charging).
The report also includes sections on Market Development and OEM and Vehicle Programmes along with profiles of 26 key industry suppliers.
Background to this research
The technology development surrounding EVs is significantly different and more far-reaching
than the developments that have driven the hybrid sector to date. Not only are there technology boundaries to be pushed in terms of individual components - such as electric motors, control electronics, and energy storage and vehicle control systems - the characteristics of the EV are such that issues such as lightweighting are paramount.
Advances in weight saving and the rapid development of enabling technologies is having a profound effect on cutting down the traditional disadvantages of the 'conventional' EV powertrain.
