Abstract: Due to recent technological advancements and the implementation of international regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, automakers are now focusing on electric/hybrid and electric fuel cell vehicle technologies. Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FCHEVs), which combine the benefits of electric propulsion and fuel cell technology, have drawn much interest as a possible option for sustainable transportation. For these cars to operate efficiently and with as little pollution as possible, energy flows must be managed effectively inside the vehicle. This study focuses on electric fuel cell cars to effectively fulfil the dynamic power demand required by the electric motor and auxiliary systems. These vehicles combine the fuel cell system with hybrid energy storage systems, represented by batteries and ultracapacitors. This paper provides valuable insights into the cutting-edge EMS control methodologies for improving the performance of FCHEVs by combining results from recent research and real-world implementations.
