Utilization of electric vehicles provides a solution to several challenges in today’s individual mobility. However, ensuring maximum efficient operation of electric vehicles is required in order to overcome their greatest weakness: the limited range. Even though the overall efficiency is...

This book provides selected results from the accompanying research of the project CROME. The vision of the project was to create and test a safe, seamless, user-friendly and reliable mobility with electric vehicles between France and Germany as a prefiguration of a pan-European electric mobility...

Die Verbreitung der Elektromobilität im Individualverkehr wird derzeit politisch gefördert, da sie als eine Maßnahme zur Senkung der Treibhausgasemissionen gesehen wird. Neben elektrisch angetriebenen Pkw bringen Automobilhersteller zunehmend auch elektrische Zweiräder auf den Markt. Diese...

Main challenges within the energy system of tomorrow are more volatile, less controllable and at the same time more decentralized electricity generation. Furthermore, the increasing research and development activities on electric vehicles (EV) make a significant share of electric vehicles within...

One of the major challenges for a global success of electric vehicles is to meet customer's expectations to a user–friendly charging infrastructure. The technology of fast charging of electric vehicles offers electric vehicle users the opportunity to travel in excess of the car’s range....
