Abstract

The history of the automotive industry was initially linked to electricity. However, the combustion engines would become the dominant paradigm later. Nowadays, because of several factors, the automotive industry has been researched on electric vehicles (EVs) for several decades, although this industry will have to overcome important obstacles to commercialise this kind of vehicles efficiently.
