However, recent developments in high-gain converters have introduced new possibilities with enhanced voltage amplification capabilities and efficiency. This study discusses and evaluates the state-of-the-art high-gain DC-DC converters for EV applications based on the Quadratic Boost Converter (QBC). Research into innovative topologies has increased in response to the increasing demand for efficient and high-performance power electronic converters in the rapidly expanding EV industry. Due to its ability to provide more significant voltage gains than conventional boost converters, the QBC has become a viable option for meeting the unique requirements of EV power systems. This survey focuses on the efficiency, power density, and overall performance parameters of QBC-based high-gain converters. The literature review provides a foundation for comprehending power electronics converters\u2019 trends, challenges, and opportunities. The acquired knowledge can enhance the design and optimization of high-gain converters based on the QBC, thereby fostering more sustainable and efficient power systems for the expanding electric mobility industry. In the future, the report suggests that investigating new high-gain converter design methodologies will reduce component stress and enhance the intact system efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24072186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]],"date-time":"2024-03-28T12:22:46Z","timestamp":1711628566000},"page":"2186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["A Critical Analysis of Quadratic Boost Based High-Gain Converters for Electric Vehicle Applications: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7994-1764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Madhav","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Meghalaya, Shillong 793003, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7486-6139","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaibalya Prasad","family":"Panda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, School of Energy Technology, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar 382007, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8440-0364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ramasamy T.","family":"Naayagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Newcastle University in Singapore, Singapore 567739, Singapore"}]},{"given":"Ritula","family":"Thakur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Institute of Technical Teachers Training & Research, Sector 26, Chandigarh 160019, India"}]},{"given":"Gayadhar","family":"Panda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Meghalaya, Shillong 793003, India"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"634","DOI":"10.1080\/14786451.2020.1743704","article-title":"Land transport CO2 emissions and climate change: Evidence from Cyprus","volume":"39","author":"Giannakis","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int.
