In this research article, energy storage systems (ESS) used in electric vehicles are examined in detail in order to meet the sustainability needs in the energy sector. Increasing energy demand and environmental impacts of fossil fuels increase the importance of renewable energy sources and ESSs that enable the efficient use of these sources. The efficiency and performance of electric vehicles depend on the energy storage technologies used. In the article, the working principles, advantages, disadvantages, and application areas of mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, chemical, and hybrid energy storage systems are evaluated. Battery technologies in particular, are of critical importance in ESSs and are among the most widely used electrochemical energy storage solutions in electric vehicles. It is seen that when battery technologies are examined, lithium-ion batteries are preferred more because of their high energy density, long life, and high efficiency. Moreover, battery management systems (BMS) play an important role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of batteries. BMS optimizes battery performance and extends its life with functions such as balancing battery cells, temperature control, charge-discharge management, and monitoring of overall battery health. As a result, the development of ESSs for electric vehicles is of critical importance in terms of energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impacts. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of ESSs, battery technologies, and BMSs used in electric vehicles and to guide innovative solutions in this field.
