Abstract: The driving range of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is greatly influenced by ambient conditions, especially at low temperatures. To address this, the battery and the passenger cabin can be preheated using energy from the electric grid. This is regarded as a strategy to reduce the energy consumption of these vehicles in winter.
Preheating batteries in electric vehicles under cold weather conditions is one of the key measures to improve the performance and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries. In general, preheating can be divided into external heating and internal heating, depending on the location of the heat source.
The features and the performance of each preheating method are reviewed. The imposing challenges and gaps between research and application are identified. Preheating batteries in electric vehicles under cold weather conditions is one of the key measures to improve the performance and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries.
This is regarded as a strategy to reduce the energy consumption of these vehicles in winter. For long trips, preheating can indeed be translated into a slight increase in the driving range. However, for short trips, the amount of energy saved from the battery does not outweigh the additional energy demanded from the grid.
Air preheating method with simple equipment is suitable for all battery types and has already been applied in EVs, such as Honda Insight and Toyota Prius . However, air circulation requires a flow loop and a fan, which can increase the complexity and cost of the BTMS, and can cause reliability issues .
To address this, the battery and the passenger cabin can be preheated using energy from the electric grid. This is regarded as a strategy to reduce the energy consumption of these vehicles in winter. For long trips, preheating can indeed be translated into a slight increase in the driving range.
Electric Vehicles in Winter
Preheating – getting the vehicle cabin up to temperature while still plugged in means more energy is left in the battery for range. This can usually be controlled with smartphone apps and/or key fobs and generally works best on higher powered Level 2 chargers. Preheating can also make it much easier to remove snow and ice from your vehicle before leaving home.
