Cutting-Edge EMS Technologies for EVs and HEVs: Recent Developments and Future Directions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Energy Management Strategies (EMS) are critical for optimizing energy utilization, improving performance, and reducing environmental impact in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). This study aims to address the growing complexities in EMS development by introducing a novel classification framework that organizes existing methodologies into rule-based, optimization-based, and intelligent transportation system (ITS)-based approaches. The research systematically explores the influence of advanced powertrain architectures and charging technologies on EMS objectives. Recent advancements, such as the integration of machine learning, predictive controls, and multi-objective optimization, are analyzed to highlight their contributions to addressing challenges in modern electrified transportation systems. Key findings demonstrate the importance of emerging trends like vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and renewable energy integration in enhancing EMS capabilities. The study concludes by emphasizing the necessity of adaptive and innovative solutions to meet the increasing demands of energy-efficient and sustainable transportation. This work provides a comprehensive and objective representation of current advancements, offering insights to guide future research and practical applications in the field.
