Abstract

Various EVs are already in the streets of several European, Japanese or American cities. Although they have been brought to the market with a significant autonomy in terms of kilometers, a lot of potential users are considering longer range in order to see a real take-off of the market. The limitations on the performances arising from the characteristics of current battery types hold back the market even though these limitations are more often than not subjective with regard to the real needs of the drivers.
