Computational Studies on Selection of EV

In recent years, the vehicle sector has grown enormously. More companies are starting to invest in the development of new electric vehicle-related technologies as EV technology advances. The range of an electric vehicle (EV) is the most crucial component in customer’s decision matrix to choose EVs. The list of EV is topped by a brand with a range of 776 and 110 km constitute the lower end of range. The EV market today is more complicated owing to advanced features catching up to make potential buyer perplexed about which EV to purchase. This work presents a comprehensive approach to access EVs comparing their range. The simulation study carried out in the MATLAB Simulink/Simscape environment giving scope to vary motor power and battery capacity. The results can assist the user to compare alternatives and select the ideal EV by analyzing data from simulations for NEDC and WLTP drive cycles.
