Methods to extend the mileage, and analysis of power plants of electrified vehicles

Introduction (problem statement and relevance). The comprehensive question of environmental “health” and handling the problems connected with excessive emissions of hazardous substances into the environment can be solved through active introduction of vehicles having the minimum impact on natural processes. This scientific paper is an analytical survey of the existing power plants of electrified vehicles (EVs) taking into account the up-to-date statistical indicators to increase their mileage. The purpose of the study is to analyze the experience of creation, development and improvement of EV characteristics. Methodology and research methods. The methods used in the scientific paper are based on the fundamentals of electrical engineering, electronics, automated electric drive basics, methods of research tests, and vehicle design foundations. Scientific novelty and results. Within the study, analysis of EV power plant combinations, as well as systems and ways of mileage increasing has been performed. The analytical estimation of options to improve the EV energy efficiency has been offered. The practical significance consists in the results of the analytical estimation of the options to improve the EV energy efficiency. The results obtained during the study and accompanying recommendations are aimed at mileage increasing and reduction of toxic emissions into the atmosphere, as well as at creation of an additional positive trend towards mass use of EVs among the population.
