Abstract | In this study, electric-drive vehicles with series powertrains were configured to utilize a lithium-ion battery of very high power and achieve sport-sedan performance and excellent fuel economy. The batteries for these vehicles were designed to deliver 100 kW of power at 90% open-circuit voltage to provide high battery efficiency (97-98%) during vehicle operation. This results in battery heating of only 1.6 degree C per hour of travel on the urban dynamonmeter driving schedule cycle, which essentially eliminates the need for battery cooling. Vehicle simulation tests using Argonne's Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT), whoed that these vehicles could accelerate to 60 mph in 6.2 to 6.3 seconds and achieve fuel economies of 50 to 54 mpg on the urban and highway fuel economy test cycles. |
