摘要

In the recent years, the cost of petroleum has surged significantly, and there has been a simultaneous increase in air pollution also. Vehicular emissions, from petroleum fuel, contribute to 20–30% of this growing air pollution. Internal combustion engines (ICE), which are the predominant choice for transportation and rely on petroleum fuel, exhibits various inefficiencies and drawbacks. These drawbacks include substantial fuel wastage during idling in traffic, even when vehicles move slowly, leading to excessive fuel consumption and heat generation. In response to these challenges, electric vehicles have emerged as an alternative to conventional vehicles. However, they also come with their own set of limitations, particularly for daily commuters who traverse both urban and highway routes over long distances. These limitations include poor highway performance, lengthy charging time consequently reduces reliability. In response to these challenges, electric vehicles have emerged as an alternative to conventional vehicles.
