Optimizing Lithium-Ion Battery Performance in Electric Vehicles: A Comprehensive Analysis of Temperature, Humidity, and Moisture Effects

Lithium-ion batteries are crucial for electric vehicles (EVs) due to their high energy density and extended lifespan. However, their performance is significantly influenced by temperature, humidity, and moisture. This paper investigates the impact of high and low temperatures, humidity, and moisture on lithium-ion batteries for EV applications. Additionally, the study explores the effects of external factors such as air quality, dust, particles, and solar radiation. The paper investigates the occurrence of thermal runaway, provides insights into state-of-charge (SOC) estimation methods employed by leading EV manufacturers, and proposes strategies to overcome temperature-related challenges. Additionally, the paper presents the results of developed simulation models that demonstrate the influence of temperature on battery performance. Finally, the paper discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with mitigating the impact of these environmental factors on EV batteries.
