a. Forbs.com/2018
Objective
Research Methodology
Main Findings
b. Sida Feng, Christopher L. Magee/ 2020
Objectives: To provide both broader and more detailed
information about technology development in the EV field,
unlike most previous studies on electric vehicle innovation
which analysed this field as a whole
Research Methodology: Quantitative research method
Main Findings:
a. The estimated rates of performance improvement per year
are 18.3% for power electronics, 7.7% for electric motors,
23.8% for charging and discharging and 11.7% for
batteries. The relatively lower improvement rate for electric
motors and batteries suggests their potential to hinder the
popularization of electric vehicles.
b. The technology trajectories depict the development of four
critical subdomains over time, which quantitively proves
the focuses and emerging topics of the subdomains.
c. The key players in the four critical subdomains appear to be
Toyota and Honda in hybrid power electronics, E-One Moli
Energy Corp in lithium-ion batteries, Panasonic in
Permanent Magnet motors and Toyota in discharging.
c. Xiaoli Sun, Zhengguo Li/ 2019
Objectives: To provide technical development of EVs and
emerging technologies for their future application. Key
technologies regarding batteries, charging technology, electric
motors and control, and charging infrastructure of EVs are
summarized.
Research Methodology: Qualitative and Quantitative research
methods
Main Findings: The technical challenges and emerging
technologies for the improvement of efficiency, reliability, and
safety of EVs in the coming stages as another contribution.
d. Amir Khajepour, Zhenhe Li/ 2019
Objectives: To analysing the existing pure electric vehicles
types.
Research Methodology: Qualitative research method
Main Findings:
a. The challenges faced by pure electric vehicles
b. The latest development of pure electric vehicles
c. Energy sources used in pure electric vehicles
2. Environment
a. Marta Moses/2020
Objective: To study how EVs can save the enviornment
Research Methodology: Qualitative methods based on
secondary data
Main Findings: electric vehicles improve the air quality.
Pure electric vehicles do not produces the CO2
