Abstract
The development of an electric vehicle is mainly driven to address the global energy issues and air pollution concerns. Due to its long life cycle and high energy density Li-ion is widely used in EV’s coupled with the help of an effective Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS).An EV can compete against an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle in terms of driving range. This review paper givesdetailed explanation on the progress of BTMS in the field of battery arrangement, parameters required for structural optimization of a battery pack, cooling techniques such as air cooling technique with series, parallel and series-parallel configuration, liquid based cooling involving direct and indirect based configurations
