AI-EV (Air-conditioner Integrated Electric Vehicle)

Abstract

In order to expand the natural energy and the energy conservation, "The Smart Photovoltaic power generation (hereinafter referred to as PV) and Electric Vehicle (hereinafter referred to as EV) system" has been proposed and the effect has been clarified. However, the Smart PV and EV system has some problems to become common. It’s necessary to solve EVs problems which are short cruising range, high cost of storage battery and risk of dead battery. Therefore, Air-conditioner Integrated Electric Vehicle (hereinafter referred to as AI-EV) which has a greatly improving the mentioned above three performances has been proposed.
In this paper, the authors have studied the total energy consumption of the Smart PV and EV system in the case of using Gasoline Engine Vehicle, Hybrid Vehicle, EV and AI-EV. As a result, AI-EV can reduce CO₂ emissions by 20% almost the same as EV in the Smart PV and EV system. In addition, AI-EV is able to gain the cruising range more than twice as long as EV with the same battery capacity.
