Abstract

Petroleum resources are currently less readily available, and there are greater opportunities for automotive uses, particularly in hybrid electric cars. A new technology called electric vehicles (EVs) is improving environmental awareness and ecology worldwide. To improve driving range and engine power in vehicles, a variety of DC–DC converters are employed in automotive applications. The effectiveness of batteries and power converters is a major factor in EVs and their analysis. The converters and controllers used in electric vehicles have a variety of disadvantages, including significant switching loss, a lack of dynamic responsiveness, greater current stress, and a higher component count. To get dependable output power from the storage systems, controllers, converters, and motor efficiency should be required. To provide an effective output, it is mainly required to select the proper motor, converter, and controller. This chapter examines the advantages and disadvantages of several kinds of power controllers, converters, and charging stations. In addition to serving as the foundation for controllers such as PI controllers and fuzzy controllers, basic converter design also plays a significant role. The performance of the various converters such as CUK, fly back, push–pull, Z-source, and proposed updated converter is compared to the present boost converter in this study using the PI controller in the closed loop. Thus, the simulations have been compared and the results were analyzed. At last, this chapter discusses the difficulties and makes recommendations for the distant future deployment of EVs.
