It is expected that this paper would offer a comprehensive understanding of the electric vehicle energy system and highlight the major aspects of energy storage and energy consumption systems. Also, it is expected that it would provide a practical comparison between the various alternatives available to each of both energy systems
If two vehicles arrive, one can get power from the battery and the other from the grid. In either case, the economics improve because the cost of both the electricity itself and the demand charges are greatly reduced. 3. In addition, the costs of batteries are decreasing, from $1,000 per kWh in 2010 to $230 per kWh in 2016, according to
Electrical Energy Storage is a process of converting electrical energy into a form that can be stored for converting back to electrical energy when needed (McLarnon and Cairns, 1989; Ibrahim et al., 2008 ). In this section, a technical comparison between the different types of energy storage systems is carried out.
