In the outset of economic growth, the emerging country like India faces challenges due to rapid urbanization, infrastructure and city-congestion. The increased demand for mobility and a pivotal role of internal combustion engines from decades in the transportation segment have led to two influencing factors i.e., increased dependency on the oil import from fuel rich countries and alarming levels of emission. Hence it is essential for a country like India to venture into newer technologies to reform the transportation segment, reduce the dependency on the oil import and also has a positive impact on the pollutants. There are few technological barriers for the development of electric vehicles over internal combustion (IC) engines in terms of cost and performance of the vehicle. Along with the reduction of emissions, the electric vehicles should exhibit considerably good specific energy density and specific power density to emulate over the conventional (IC) engines. The three major constituents of electric vehicles are the battery, electric engine and the controller. The energy storage device forms the crux of the electric vehicle and has a significant role in its performance as well as forms the expensive component of the vehicle. Hence this paper involves the evaluation of various battery technologies, their performance requirements and options feasible for electric vehicles of the future. 2018 IEEE.
