What is All Electric Range

Chapter 18
Handbook of Research on Modern Optimization Algorithms and Applications in Engineering and Economics
All electric range is a mode of electric vehicle when it is only run by charged batteries in order to reduce the overall fuel consumption. Calculation of all electric range varies according to the designs of the hybrid electric vehicles. The “all electric range” (AER) test quantifies the electric-only miles possible with the battery for a particular configuration and vehicle class.

Abstract
Electrification of Transportation has undergone major modifications since the last decade. Success of combining smart grid technology and renewable energy exclusively depends upon the large-scale participation of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) towards reach the desired pollution-free transportation industry. One of the key Performance pointers of hybrid electric vehicle is the State-of-Charge (SoC) which needs to be enhanced for the advancement of charging station using computational intelligence methods. In this Chapter, authors applied Hybrid Particle swarm and gravitational search Optimization (PSOGSA) technique for intelligently allocating energy to the PHEVs considering constraints such as energy price, remaining battery capacity, and remaining charging time. Computational experiment results attained for maximizing the highly non-linear fitness function estimates the performance measure of both the techniques in terms of best fitness value and computation time.

Swarm Intelligence-Based Optimization for PHEV Charging Stations
All electric range is a mode of electric vehicle when it is only run by charged batteries in order to reduce the overall fuel consumption. Calculation of all electric range varies according to the designs of the hybrid electric vehicles. The “all electric range” (AER) test quantifies the electric-only miles possible with the battery for a particular configuration and vehicle class. Calculating AER is made more complicated because of variations in PHEV design. A vehicle like the Fisker Karma that utilizes a serial hybrid design has a clear AER. Similarly a vehicle like the Chevy Volt which disengages the internal combustion engine (ICE) from the drive train while in electric mode has a clear AER, however blended mode PHEVs which utilize the ICE and electric motor in conjunction do not have a clear AER because they utilize gasoline and grid provided electricity at the same time.
