High efficiency electric vehicle drivetrains with integrated fast-charging and dual storage media

电动汽车已被证明在技术上是可行的，并即将大幅扩张。 然而，由于价格高、范围有限以及充电时间过长，大规模采用受到了限制 与使用传统充电器有关。该项目的目标是通过(I)解决这些限制 通过引入更适合城市驾驶的双储能介质来提高驾驶循环效率(II) 重新考虑标准动力传动系统以提高性能，(Iii)发展快速充电 集成在车辆传动系统本身中的功能，大大降低了基础设施成本 与快速充电相关以及(Iv)开发提供中等充电的无线充电技术 适用于车队车辆的费率。这些研究焦点对电动汽车的成本和需求具有重大影响 昂贵的快速充电和车队充电基础设施。与合作伙伴公司人员接洽将 让学员接触工程研究和开发的实际方面，包括考虑 机械约束、包装和汽车标准。

Electric vehicles have been shown to be technologically viable and are on the verge of significant expansion. However, mass adoption is limited by their high price, limited range and the exceptionally long charging times associated with the use of conventional chargers. The goal of this project is to address these limitations by (i) improving drive-cycle efficiencies by introducing dual energy storage media better suited to urban driving (ii) reconsidering the standard drivetrain system to improve performance, (iii) development of fast-charging functionality that is integrated within the vehicle drivetrain system itself, vastly reducing infrastructure costs associated with fast-charging and (iv) development of wireless charging technology that offer medium charging rates for fleet vehicle applications. These research foci have major implications on EV cost and demands on costly fast-charging and fleet charging infrastructure. Engagement with the partner company personnel will expose trainees to practical aspects of engineering research and development including consideration of mechanical constraints, packaging and automotive standards.
