Measuring the Operating Parameters of Electric Vehicles

Abstract

Electric vehicles are growing in popularity and are reviving a much disused powertrain in the vehicle sector. This paper deals with the measurement of driving performance of electric vehicles. For twelve selected vehicles, the parameters given by the vehicle manufacturer and measured during individual runs were compared. The measurements were carried out on a predetermined route, divided into several parts. The data obtained here not only serve to compare the parameters, but also to determine the degree of dependence of the individual measured parameters on the range of the vehicles.
