Grazian, F. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The lithium-ion battery of an electric vehicle (EV) is typically rated at either 400 or 800 V. When considering public parking infrastructures, EV wireless chargers must efficiently deliver electric power to both battery options. This can be normally achieved by regulating the output voltage through a dc-dc converter at the cost of higher...journal article 2023

Mitici, M.A. (author), Hennink, Birgitte (author), Pavel, M.D. (author), Dong, J. (author)The health management of batteries is a key enabler for the adoption of Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing vehicles (eVTOLs). Currently, few studies consider the health management of eVTOL batteries. One distinct characteristic of batteries for eVTOLs is that the discharge rates are significantly larger during take-off and landing, compared...journal article 2023
