Analysis on Real-world Utilization Characteristic and Energy Consumption of Ultra-compact Electric Vehicle in Local City

Abstract

Ultra-compact electric vehicles are expected to be widely used, not only to realize environmentally friendly transportation but also to ensure mobility in areas with low levels of public transport services. Especially in highly and mountainous areas, the difference in height between the origin and destination point affects energy consumption. However, the report mentioned from this point of view is rare. In this research, we report the result of analyzing the relationship between real-world utilization characteristics and energy consumption of an ultra-compact electric vehicle in a local city.
