Abstract: The rapid evolution of high-performance electric vehicles (EVs) has created an urgent need for advanced battery thermal management systems (BTMS) to ensure optimal operation, safety, and longevity. Excessive heat generation during high discharge rates, fast charging, and continuous cycling can degrade battery performance and lead to safety hazards. Innovations in liquid cooling, phase change materials, heat pipes, and advanced thermal interface materials are reshaping the way thermal management is approached in automotive battery design. This paper reviews recent developments, evaluates their effectiveness, and discusses future directions for creating efficient and sustainable thermal management solutions for high-performance EV batteries.
Keywords: Thermal Management, Battery Cooling, Phase Change Materials, Heat Pipes, Electric Vehicles, Automotive Batteries
