Abstract

The authors identify technical challenges in meeting customer's expectations and possible opportunities for power electronics in EV (electric vehicle) development. It is emphasized that reliability, performance, safety, and cost are the major concerns of EV customers. Battery development is found to be the most challenging technical task. Development of other components should focus on reliability and efficiency. A systems approach is noted to be critical for success.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
