This book surveys state of the art research on and developments in lithium ion batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles. It summarizes their features in terms of performance cost service life management charging facilities and safety. Vehicle electrification is now commonly accepted as a means of reducing fossil fuels consumption and air pollution. At present every electric vehicle on the road is powered by a lithium ion battery. Currently batteries based on lithium ion technology are ranked first in terms of performance reliability and safety. Though other systems e.g. metal air lithium sulphur solid state and aluminium ion are now being investigated the lithium ion system is likely to dominate for at least the next decade – which is why several manufacturers e.g. Toyota Nissan and Tesla are chiefly focusing on this technology. Providing comprehensive information on lithium ion batteries the book includes contributions by the world’s leading experts on Li ion batteries and vehicles.
