Implication

Randomized trial evaluates dual-energy-storage integration in electric vehicles, suggesting enhanced driving range and reduced weight.

Key Points

This study aims to develop and evaluate a system-level modeling framework for integrating aluminum-air and lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles.
Developed a MATLAB/Simulink framework for dynamic modeling.
Evaluated two strategies for integrating aluminum-air batteries as range extenders and auxiliary power units.
Assessed vehicle performance under multiple standardized drive cycles.
Coupling a 24.6 kWh aluminum-air pack with a 20.3 kWh lithium-ion pack achieved driving ranges of 379 km (UDDS), 523 km (HWFET), and 450 km (WLTP).
Total battery-system mass was reduced by more than 50%.
As an auxiliary power unit, the aluminum-air system increased vehicle range by 44–96 km depending on the drive cycle.
