Design and SOC Determination of Electric Vehicle in Indian Scenario

This paper discusses the problems pertaining to battery of electric vehicle (EV) design and state of charge (SOC) performance. EVs have become a practical way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on fossil fuels, particularly in countries like India, where the transportation sector significantly contributes to pollution. This paper discusses the design considerations and state of charge (SOC) determination for EVs within the Indian context. It addresses the unique challenges posed by India's diverse climatic conditions, road infrastructure, and driving patterns. SOC determination is a critical aspect of EV operation that directly influences range and energy management. This paper presents various SOC estimation techniques, such as Coulomb counting, open-circuit voltage, and model-based methods and evaluates their applicability. The effect of temperature, driving cycles, and battery aging on SOC accuracy is also discussed. The aim of this approach is to contribute the widespread adoption of EVs in India that supports the country's transition to sustainable transportation. Aspects of the vehicle type configuration, energy storage system (ESS) related issues as SOC, ESS current etc. are analyzed.
