Thermal network model development for an extended range electric vehicle battery pack with experimental verification through dynamic environmental exposure
… objective was to develop a thermal model of the Chevrolet Volt battery pack, with focused on the influence of packaging components external to the cell modules, and on the pack’s response to ambient environmental influences. The thermal network was refined experimentally using heat flux and …

A simulation-based assessment of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle architectures
… Results were compared to EPA data for the Chevrolet Volt and Toyota Prius, showing close agreement on values for fuel consumption, charge-depleting range, and acceleration time. While most PHEVs today are of the series or split variety, analysis of the simulation results indicates that …

A study in hybrid vehicle architectures : comparing efficiency and performance
… (i.e. Toyota Prius), the serial hybrid (i.e. Chevrolet Volt), and the electric vehicle (i.e. Chevrolet EV-1). These four power schemes represent the most prominent power architecture options available to automotive designers and engineers today. Experimentation was preformed using a one-man …

Potential of electric propulsion systems to reduce petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. light-duty vehicle fleet
… emissions from the tailpipe. For example, a Chevrolet Volt PHEV is expected to be launched as 2011 model with 40 mile allelectric travel with no tailpipe emissions. However, there are multiple challenges associated with the new technology. HEVs and PHEVs incur higher costs due to additional …
