basic information
**[1. Lecture Summary]** It is not an exaggeration to say that the bottleneck for electric vehicles is the battery, but there are various forms of electric vehicles, and the requirements and difficulties associated with the battery vary greatly depending on the form. (The proliferation of batteries for HEVs does not guarantee the proliferation of batteries for BEVs.) After outlining the forms of electric vehicles and the advantages and disadvantages of each form, as well as the requirements for batteries, I will discuss the conditions required for the batteries of "power consumption type" electric vehicles such as BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) and PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles) that consume power charged from the grid, and the challenges that need to be overcome. I will also introduce efforts and challenges toward the proliferation of power consumption type electric vehicles. **[2. Lecture Summary]** In explaining the basic technologies of EVs, I will use the micro EV as an example due to its simple structure. While full-fledged EVs differ from micro EVs in terms of power unit layout and electrical safety equipment, the fundamental mechanisms are the same. Furthermore, regarding the future of EVs, it is not simply expected that they will replace gasoline vehicles. I will explain how they will proliferate, how they will coexist with gasoline vehicles or hybrid vehicles, and provide examples of demonstration tests.
