Prediction of Ageing Effects on Lithium-Ion Battery for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

The development of Lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles have recently become the subject of large research efforts due to some remarkable advantages over other kinds of batteries, such as: high energy density, high power density, long cycle life and long calendar life. This paper is aimed to develop an ageing model suitable to estimate the battery lifetime, the residual capacity and reliability margins under different driving cycles, taking also into account the battery calendar ageing.
