The problem of operating electric vehicles in difficult climatic conditions

Abstract

Introduction. The development of environmentally friendly vehicles is associated with the introduction of high-voltage sources and power converters in their design. Sources of electricity are represented by energy storage and storage systems, which under various environmental conditions can have different undesirable efficiency.

The purpose of the study was to determine the problems similarly affecting high-voltage systems operability and storing electricity during operation in regions such as the Russian Federation and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Methodology and research methods. Analytical studies conducted by the authors permitted them to point out the pressing problems of electric vehicles and cars with combined power units, as well as to identify promising ways to solve these problems.

Results. The relevance of the study was to consider the similar problems of the electric vehicles introduction and operation in the Russian Federation and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Despite the diametrically opposite climatic features of Vietnam and Russia, the problem of temperature stabilization of the battery of an electric vehicle was similar by nature and required a comprehensive solution. The existing experience was studied and the negative aspects that impeded the development of environmentally friendly vehicles in the private sector were shown.

Practical significance. Deficiencies in the development of electric vehicles in the future were identified. The question of the electric vehicles operation and their performance in the difficult conditions of both Russian Federation and Vietnam was raised. This systematization will allow to create the unified algorithms and schemes of systems permitting to work both in hot and in cold climates.
