DETERMINATION OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE TRACTION SOURCES OF CURRENT FOR THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Abstract

The analysis of the modern energy storage devices is carried out. It is established that when choosing a traction battery for an electric vehicle, it is necessary to determine the priority of characteristics by which the choice will be made, the operating conditions and what kind of consumer it is intended for. It has been determined that for urban public electric transport, the ultra capacitors should be used as the traction batteries, and for a small city electric vehicle the lithium-ion batteries are preferred
