Vehicle driveability is one of the important attributes in range-extender electric vehicles due to motor torque characteristics at low-speed events. Physical vehicle prototypes are typically used validate and rectify attributes. However, this can be expensive require several design iterations. In paper, a model-based energy method assess presented based on high-fidelity 49 degree-of-freedom pow...

The demand for electric vehicles is high due to the fact of their low travel costs. Meanwhile, an increase in car driving range expected. Hence, this paper examines different concepts related a battery vehicle. scenarios were divided into two parts. first part consisted four stages: mixed cycle, charging battery, very short distance, and distances that within maximum theoretical batteries. seco...

The EVPRE software is a high resolution energy optimal routing and range prediction tool for electric Vehicles (EV). Users are able to quickly add characteristics of their EV systems obtain reliable estimates power consumption see ideal limits that maintain battery health. These routes calculated using several models tested in hardware experiments. Interactive visualizations inform users on ene...

There is a range of anxiety-related phenomena among users and potential buyers electric vehicles. Chief them the fear vehicle stopping its getting “stuck” before reaching their designated destination. The limited an makes EV worry that battery will drain while driving stall on road. It therefore important to know factors could further reduce during daily operation. purpose this study was determ...

This study investigated a micro turbine generator (MTG) as range extender for series hybrid electric vehicle application of constant and dynamic power demand strategies. The demands were calculated through mathematical model based on specific platform using the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC). then used to characterize MTG in controlled test environment. Each strategies produced interesting res...

In this study, a conventional vehicle is converted into series hybrid electric vehicle. Electric motor power, battery pack capacity, range extender operating condition determined; computational model of the built and simulations are conducted using Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP). Power rating calculated as 120 kW for same acceleration performance. Wankel engine data a...

Many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. The full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (V) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. The size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. This research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. This vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...
