Most of today's all-electric cars and plug-in hybrid electric cars (PHEVs) are powered by lithium-ion batteries, which would replace vehicles currently powered by fossil fuels and address the energy issue in the transportation industry. Although they have a high energy density, a long lifespan, long-term performance, and low self-discharge, the heat generation in the battery reduces their performance. Therefore, controlling heat and maintaining temperature homogeneity inside batteries is a critical issue in research and development. When used properly, a battery thermal management system (BTMS) can maintain the cell's maximum highest temperature and maximum temperature difference at an ideal level. The strengths and drawbacks of several BTMS types, such as active, passive, and hybrid systems, are critically examined in this study. It also discusses the possibilities of incorporating a waste heat recovery system into BTMS to cut down on power consumption and running costs for both BTMS and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The current review discusses the benefits and drawbacks of employing nanofluids in battery temperature management systems. Additionally, the effectiveness of an optimized Li-ion battery pack's intelligent thermal management system is examined.
