Abstract
Today’s electric vehicles are facing the driver’s anxiety for reachability of a chosen destination. This is caused by a rather limited driving range resulting from a still open and sophisticated challenge, i.e. the development of batteries with sufficient high power and energy content, and with high lifetime expectancy. The European publicly funded project OpEneR was established to follow an alternative but somehow complementary way towards a better situation. Driving strategies and assistance systems are being developed to increase efficiency, driving range, and safety. All functions are handled by a novel overall energy management system merging data from multiple on- and off-board data sources. This article gives an outline of OpEneR and its working fields while the project is still ongoing.
