Synthesis of approaches aimed at extension of the electric vehicle cruising range on a single charge. Russian Federation experience

Abstract

Introduction (problem statement and relevance). Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption related thereto (energy efficiency) for vehicles is a part of the global problem of reduction of human impact on climate change and saving natural resources. As a member of the global community, the Russian Federation takes part in relevant international agreements and treaties. This scientific paper offers a detailed analysis and expert opinion regarding the main existing approaches aimed at electric vehicle (EV) cruising range extension, also taking into account the experience accumulated in the Russian Federation.The purpose of the study is to analyze international and domestic experience in design and development of EVs having an extended range per charge.Methodology and research methods. The methods used are based on the fundamental principles of the theory of vehicles, vehicle automated systems, as well as fundamental principles of electronics and electrical engineering, research test methods.Scientific novelty and results. The analysis of electric vehicles (EVs) development through synthesis of approaches to extend the cruising range on a single charge was carried out. The analytical and expert assessment of the approaches to extend the EV cruising range on a single charge is proposed.The practical significance consists in the results of scientifically based synthesis of approaches to extend the EV cruising range on a single charge. The obtained results and recommendations are aimed at improving energy efficiency of vehicles as well as promoting EVs in the Russian Federation.
