Abstract
Economical CO_2 reduction will be possible to use the combination system of photovoltaic power generation (PV) and Electric vehicles (EV). In order to spread the EV, it's necessary to solve some problems, such as high energy consumption of air-conditioner. In this paper, the authors have proposed and studied an Air-conditioner Integrated Electric Vehicle (AI-EV) which is a new concept EV. The EV is installed a small engine to supply the power of air-conditioner. In addition we studied the effects of AI-EV using in the PV & EV combined system. As a result, the engine power requires below 120cc displacement. So, AI-EV can reduce CO_2 emissions by 19% and AI-EV is able to gain the cruising range twice as long as the conventional EV with the same battery capacity
