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.
