INFLUENCE OF ENERGY CAPACITY REGARDING BATTERY PACK ON IMPROVING ELECTRIC VEHICLE RANGE

Abstract

Looking at the data from the past years of car manufacturers, we find that the current hybrid and electric vehicle market is steadily increasing, practically doubling the number of sales. When it comes to the performance of hybrid or electric vehicles, we need to consider the range, the loading time, the energy consumption, the mass and the purchase or maintenance cost, these being the biggest problems of modern hybrid and electric vehicles. Costs are an important part of these propulsion solutions, so using simulation software reduces both the cost of acquiring batteries and other equipment and the time it takes to determine theoretical results as close as possible to reality. For this, the simulation will be carried out with AVL Cruise's specialized testing software, using an teoretical model.
