How expensive are electric vehicles? A total cost of ownership analysis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper presents a total cost of ownership (TCO) model for three different car segments. The goal is to investigate the cost efficiency of electric vehicles compared to conventional vehicles. All costs that occur during the expected vehicle's lifespan are included: purchase cost, registration tax, vehicle road tax, maintenance, tires and technical control cost, insurance cost, battery leasing cost, battery replacement cost and fuel or ...

The market potential for plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles in Flanders Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper considers the market potential for battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in Flanders, Belgium. Making use of a large-scale survey conducted in 2011 and applying a choice-based conjoint experiment, it is predicted that by 2020, battery electric vehicles could have a market share of about 5% of new vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles could have a share of around 7%. By 2030, these figures could increase to ...

Designing, prototyping and testing of a ferrite permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance machine for hybrid and electric vehicles applications Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper aims at presenting the designing, prototyping and testing results of a permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance machine, suited for A/B-segment electric vehicles. The machine is designed to avoid the use of rare-earths materials in the magnets, compensating the loss of performance from adopting ferrite magnets with a novel hairpin winding for the stator and a lightweight modular design for the rotor. Beyond the motor ...
Modeling and Analysis of a Hybrid PV/Second-Life Battery Topology Based Fast DC-Charging Systems for Electric Vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Design and Modeling of V2G Inductive Charging System for Light-Duty Electric Vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is an emerging technology resulting from the emergence of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The energy stored in battery packs of EVs are a solution to the intermittency of RES. Therefore, design and control design of charging infrastructure for EVs are of high importance for the development of V2G. This paper presents a wireless charging infrastructure based on Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) ...
