Range-extended electric vehicles have become the focus of the market,with the development of thermal management systems being of utmost importance.Different from traditional fuel vehicles,the thermal management system of range-extended electric vehicles is relatively com-plex,involving not only the design and matching of high and low temperature cooling systems but also the comprehensive application of a complex cooling system for the motor,electronic control,battery,and other components.The basic composition,system principles,and scheme matching of the ther-mal management system for range-extended electric vehicles are summarized,and thermal failure modes and improvement solutions are analyzed through typical thermal management case to achieve system design objectives.
