Abstract
Electric cars have always been a luxury only a selected few could afford. And with the invention of autonomous electric vehicles the cost has skyrocketed. The main factor that contributes to its high cost apart from it being autonomous is the use of lithium ion batteries. Even though lead acid batteries are cheaper they are not used due to Peukert’s law, which states that the rate of discharge of a lead acid battery is inversely proportional to the capacity. We rebutting this law through power mixing between Super Capacitors and Lead acid batteries. We achieved this power mixing through the use of a Bi-Directional DC to DC Buck Boost Converter, as a result this procedure we have successfully provided a cheaper alternative to the already used Lithium ion batteries used in electric cars today.
