Samenvatting:
The title symposium was attended by 1600 participants from 33 countries.There was a total of 185 technical presentations covering 16 different
topics, e.g. battery research, standardisation and air quality. The symposium
made it very clear that compared to the situation two years ago, we are in a
totally different phase of development of electric vehicles (EVs). The
situation we are in today is one of realisation of projects and the actual
series production of purpose designed EVs. Because of this new phase the need
for standardisation has become more obvious. One simple example is the need
for a common standard for the plug to connect the charger to the vehicle. The
quality and the performance of the vehicles presented was impressive. The
automotive industry is definitely taking the development of EVs and hybrid
vehicles very serious. One key issue for EVs is the battery technology.
Although there is no revolution in the performance of battery systems to be
expected, the amount of effort put into the design and research of batteries
and the progress achieved is very impressive nonetheless. The development of
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion batteries both hold great promise
for respectively the mid-term and long-term use in EVs. The presentation of
technologies competing with batteries were not great in number for the
moment, however the development of fuel cells received a lot of interest as
one very promising new technology. The Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS) now
takes place on an annual basis. EVS-14 will take place on 15-17 december 1997.
