Evaluation of running resistance measurement for electric vehicle in usual driving conditions

Abstract

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are penetrating into the market as countermeasures against environmental problems. Electric mileage is use to change sensitively affected by driving conditions. Therefore, mileage measurements in real driving conditions and accurate mileage simulations are in great concerns of EV users. Mileage measurements are normally done in some predetermined pattern driving. Accurate running resistance measurements to analyze mileage are used to done in special simple pattern tests. The authors introduced running resistance measurements in “usual driving conditions” for EVs. This study evaluates the measured data in “usual driving conditions” by comparing with the data in a “simple pattern test.”
