BackgroundDue to rapid economic growth, vehicle ownership is increasing worldwide , and at an alarming rate. According to the World Vehicle Population Report [1], in 2013, passenger car transportation increased by 25% since 1990. According to Ward's Research, in 2009, global registrations were 980 million units and increased to 1.015 billion in 2010 (increase of approximately 3.6% in just one year). These figures are very close to the projections made by Dargay et al., 2007, with the number of vehicle owners expected to exceed 2 billion in 2030. Improved infrastructure and driving facilities have also led to an increase in daily travel rates per household. Due to the improvement of driving facilities and increase in the number of vehicles, the green gas emission rate is increasing. In order to reduce CO¬¬2 emissions, a commonly implemented strategy is the electrification of vehicles, that is to say the replacement of electrical power with gasoline. Although the concept was briefly mentioned in 1834 (the exact year is uncertain), it disappeared until the late 1990s when environmental concerns took center stage and with the adoption of the Protocol of Kyoto. As part of electrification, hybrid vehicles (HEVs) have been introduced into the market to run on both electricity and gasoline. Next come HEVs with larger batteries, called plug-in electric vehicles (PHEV), which are recharged via the electricity grid, reducing reliance on fuel or gasoline. However, even though greenhouse gas emissions from vehicle pollution have decreased, increases in overall vehicle ownership and travel rates still account for pollution from gas emissions. Therefore, the introduction of battery-only electric vehicles (BEVs) has offered a promising alternative for a...... middle of paper ......, Wang, W., Kobayashi, Y., & Shirai , K. (March 2012).
