Abstract
This chapter aims at bridging the gap between chemistry scientists and electrical engineers on electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The power and energy of electric propulsion are first reviewed in Sect. 2.2. Commonly used terms to describe battery performance and characterization are then introduced in Sect. 2.3, followed by the review of various battery charging methods and EV charging schemes in Sect. 2.4. The fundamentals of EV battery technologies are addressed in Sect. 2.5. Two currently most common EV battery technologies, namely, nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion (Li-ion), are covered. It is targeted for giving power engineers a basic understanding of battery chemistry. The EV battery modeling is introduced in Sect. 2.6. It is important for power engineers to appreciate the fundamentals of battery chemistry and battery modeling and use it for power electronic interfacing converter design, battery management, and system level studies. Section 2.7 covers the topic on battery characterization including battery model parameter estimation, state of charge (SOC), and state of health (SOH) estimation. The battery aggregation for power grid applications is discussed in Sect. 2.8. The concept of virtual power plant (VPP) for battery aggregation is introduced to support EV’s participation in power markets.

Notes
- 1.
Though fuel cell vehicle (FCV) is one of the technologies under consideration of electric-drive vehicles, the durability, high cost, and production and distribution of hydrogen have hindered its development. The US Department of Energy (DOE) dropped its research support for FCV in its budget of fiscal year of 2010 [3].
