Companies throughout the world are making an innovative switch from oil and gas to renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power. As the world transitions to renewable energy, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has increased significantly. EVs mainly use Lithium-ion batteries because of their durability and efficiency. However, as the number of Lithium-ion batteries increases with the goal of reduction of emission and low energy cost, it comes with a major drawback of safety which affects efficiency. To address these challenges, this study investigates ways on how to improve the storage management system in an EV. In this research, different Lithium-ion battery states of an EV were monitored to effectively improve the battery management system (BMS). Two different drive cycles, federal test procedure (FTP) 75 and wide-open throttle (WOT) simulation time of 2474 seconds are used to obtain the results. The implementation of State of charge (SOC) technique has been applied to evaluate the energy remaining in the battery as well as the aging effects/dynamic load. The results obtained show a rate that gradually slows down in a linear manner. In addition, EVs have a less likely chance of experiencing power loss due to a very sophisticated gear system and it is very similar to a hybrid electric vehicle or internal combustion engine.
