Abstract

Electric car is the future of automotive industry. The performance of the batteries is vital for that of electric cars. Overheating will compromise the performance of batteries, shorten the life span and even damage the battery permanently. So it is crucial to have an efficient packaging and cooling method. This project using Formula SAE Electric car as the testing ground is dedicated to develop the efficient way of thermal and electronic packaging of accumulators for automobiles.
