Abstract

The Electric Vehicle (EV) technology is at an unprecedented stage of global expansion owing to environmental issues, energy security, and the rapid technological advances in batteries, power electronics, and intelligent charging facilities. The innovations that have been made in highenergy-density battery materials, the creation of solid-state electrolytes, innovative thermal management solutions, and high-efficiency electric propulsion systems have been very beneficial to modern EVs, such as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). The current studies are very much devoted to new technologies like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) integration, wireless dynamic charging, smart routing, cloud-enabled mobility, and AI-based energy management. In spite of these significant progresses, EV usage is still hindered by the range restrictions, the lack of charging infrastructure, thermal instability, fast-charging degradation, and hindrances to battery recycling. In this paper, the details on the modern achievements in EV technologies are synthesized and organized, the research issues are defined, and the opportunities in the future are proposed.
