The negative environmental impacts of the existing transportation system have made it mandatory to search for alternative solutions to prevent vast environmental pollution. The introduction of electric vehicles (EV) has proved that they are very environmentally friendly and emit fewer pollutants compared to vehicles with petrol/diesel engines (Sankara and Seyezhai 2016). Globally, the concept of electrically powered road vehicles is developing very fast. It has a good chance of becoming a significant part of the transportation infrastructure in the near future.

The battery on an electric car is a proven technology that will last for many years. In fact, the majority of EV manufacturers guarantee that their electric car batteries will last a minimum of eight years or 100,000 hours. Currently (i.e. at the time of publication) a basic replacement third-generation battery pack would cost in the region £1,000, but like all modern products, over the years the price will undoubtedly fall.
Electric Vehicles

An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle powered by an electric motor, instead of an internal combustion engine (ICE), and the motor is run using the power stored in the batteries. The batteries have to be charged frequently by plugging into any main (120 V or 240 V) supply. EV has a much longer history than most people realize. EVs were seen soon after Joseph Henry introduced the first DC-powered motor in 1830. The first known electric car was a small model built by Professor Stratingh in the Dutch town of Groningen in 1835. The first EV was built by in 1834 by Thomas Davenport in the U.S., followed by Moses Farmer, who built the first two-passenger EV in 1847. There were no rechargeable electric cells (batteries) at that time. An EV did not become a viable option until the Frenchmen Gaston Plante and Camille Faure respectively invented (1865) and improved (1881) the storage battery.

Furthermore, various greenhouse gases, caused by gas or diesel vehicle emissions, lead to the majority of urban air pollution (Sadati, Akbari, & Çatay, 2022; Wang, Yu, & Tang, 2018). Modern societies are increasingly demanding to reduce the adverse effects of transportation on the environment (Keskin, Çatay, & Laporte, 2021). To combat air pollution and mitigate its devastating consequences, many countries have announced plans to ban the sale of traditional gas and diesel vehicles by 2040, while setting numerous incentives to promote electric vehicles (Tahami, Rabadi, & Haouari, 2020). Besides environmental benefits, electric vehicles are also cost-effective compared to conventional gas and diesel vehicles. In the case of traveling the same distance, the cost of electricity consumed by an electric vehicle is only about one-tenth to one-seventh of the cost of fuels consumed by a conventional vehicle (Zuo, Xiao, You, Kaku, & Xu, 2019). In this context, there is increasing social awareness of environmental issues and cost-effectiveness (Sarwar, Hamza, & Shahzad, 2023), thereby the logistics industry considers using environmentally friendly vehicle fleets.

Electric Vehicles are becoming more popular each passing day. In fact, these battery-powered modes of transportation are attracting the automobile and technology industries, and the public (Bernhart 2013). Since there is no harmful exhaust like traditional fuel-powered vehicles, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are an environmentally prime solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Through forecasting, it is projected that in the year 2030, the global annual sales of passenger EVs will rise to 28 million (Bloomberg New Energy Finance 2019). We would need very efficient power sources to allow all these vehicles to function, and Lithium-Ion batteries are the solution to this matter. Fabricated in the 1980’s, Lithium-Ion batteries first made their appearance for commercial use in the 1990’s (Nishi 2001). With their high energy densities, low self-discharge, exceptional cycle lives, and very low damage to the environment, LIBs are increasingly used worldwide, and the best choice for use in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (Wang 2011; Lee et al. 2010).

Electrical vehicle (EV) is based on an electric propulsion system. No internal combustion engine is used. All the power is based on electric power as the energy source. The main advantage is the high efficiency in power conversion through its proposition system of electric motor. Although the EV was around before the turn of the twentieth century, the modern EV is an entirely new machine that is different from the classical EV. It is not only a vehicle but also a new type of electric equipment. The modern EV concept is summarised as follows. The EV is a road vehicle based on modern electric propulsion that consists of the electric motor, power converter, and energy source, and it has its distinct characteristics.The EV is not just a car, but a new system for our society, realising clean and efficient road transportation.
