There is limited knowledge of how vehicles are actually used in the field, for nominal and extremes of usage. The designs of vehicles are based on certain assumptions that have never been verified across a whole vehicle population; consequently vehicles are potentially non-optimally engineered. This becomes critical for electric vehicles where the effect...

Hybrid vehicles currently contain multiple individual cooling circuits for the different components, leading to extra weight, complexity and consequent efficiency losses on the vehicle. These components currently operate at different temperatures. There is little information about how the efficiencies of these components are affected by changes in...

PhD The dominant cost of electric and plug-in electric vehicles is the high voltage battery. Currently manufacturers are required to warrant this battery for a specified number of years, and at end of battery life this battery must be disposed of by the manufacturer. Opportunities exist to investigate the market for second-life (and subsequent) usage...
