Preface

Plug in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) use energy storages usually in the form of battery banks that are designed to be recharged using utility grid power. One category of PEVs are Electric Vehicles (EVs) without an Internal-Combustion (IC) engine where the energy stored in the battery bank is the only source of power to drive the vehicle. These are also referred as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). The second category of PEVs, which is more commercialized than the EVs, is Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) where the role of the energy storage is to supplement the power produced by the IC engine. These two types of PEVs are predicted to dominate the automobile market by 2030. Widespread adoption of PEVs allows the world to reduce carbon emissions in transportation needs significantly. Therefore, it is vital to the success of a collective global effort in meeting the climate energy targ
