A Review of Battery Thermal Management System for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs), which use lithium-ion batteries as stable energy sources, provide a feasible solution to future energy concerns. However, the performance of these batteries is affected by their operating temperatures, necessitates the use of an effective thermal management system. High temperatures can create thermal runaways, which can lead to explosions and short circuits, among other safety issues. The development of contrast lithium dendrites complicates operating concerns. This study addresses prospective technical advances that may enhance thermal management of electric vehicles (EVs) using lithium-ion batteries. The authors also examined the effectiveness of several theoretical and actual battery heat-management approaches for hybrid and electric vehicles. This study provides clear instructions for selecting an innovative cooling technology for battery thermal management for the next cohort of electric vehicles.
