  • Abstract:
  • As the world is facing a big need for greener transportation since, the fossil fuel we use in our vehicles are big contributor to greenhouse emissions. Luckily, electric vehicles (EVs) are making waves of hope, as well as we are moving away from fossil fuel and embracing more eco-friendly options such as Hybrid vehicle, Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and Electric vehicle which are way cleaner compared to fossil fuel. But the traditional electric vehicles are facing some challenges, especially when it comes to their batteries such as slow charging speed, limited lifespan, low range. Such similar challenges were also evident in Internal Combustion vehicles (e.g. petrol/diesel /compressed natural gas) which were mostly resolved by converting them to hybrid system. Similarly, in electric vehicles we can resolve problems like limited battery life (charging cycles) and low range of vehicle by converting it into a hybrid electric vehicle. So, to tackle this problem we have proposed a smart Hybrid system for an electric vehicle using supercapacitors secondary source of fuel along with traditional Lithium-ion battery as primary source of fuel. We will use the regenerative braking to charge the supercapacitor bank (i.e. multiple supercapacitors and connected in serial parallel combination) by using bridge rectifier to charge the supercapacitor bank that will eventually provide additional required current to the motors while rapid acceleration.
