Abstract :
The U.S. transportation sector consumes approximately 14 million barrels of petroleum every day, which is more than the total oil consumption of any other nation in the world. The most prominent sustainable solution to profoundly reduce both oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions lies in grid-enabled electric vehicles (EVs) These vehicles are propelled either partially or fully by electricity through energy storage systems such as electrochemical batteries, which need to be charged from the grid.
