Abstract

Today, the increasing level of awareness on the environmental damage of fossil fuel use and the decrease in these fuel reserves increase the interest in clean transportation. From this point of view, electric vehicles (EV) are important alternatives for clean transportation and their market share is expected to increase in the near future due to zero CO2 emissions, lower operating costs, noiseless operation and lower maintenance costs. One of the most important components of EVs is the battery. Because the performance of the battery directly affects the performance of the EVs. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the performance of the batteries to be used in these vehicles and to choose the most suitable battery after this evaluation. In this study, TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) is used to evaluate the performance of batteries used in EVs. Six batteries used in EVs are evaluated according to the criteria of nominal voltage, maximum energy density, maximum power density, operating temperature, number of cycles and cost. At the end of the study, it is determined that the Li-ion battery had the best performance according to the evaluation criteria.
