Abstract: Transportation sector has been
shifting its focus from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)
vehicles to electrified vehicles (EV) to suppress the
backdrops of the former like pollution, low efficiency
and more dependency on fossil fuels. These vehicles
offer reduced environmental effects, good efficiency
thus are going to dominate the ICE vehicles in near
future. This paper discusses the architectures of
different vehicles and the energy sources that can be
used for vehicular application emphasising the
advantages and disadvantages of each. Power converters
that can be used to for controlling the electrical
energy flow in an EV are also discussed in this paper
