Assessing the Range of an Electric Vehicle under Diverse Conditions

What is the best setup for the desired electric vehicle characteristics under different driving and environmental conditions? How do the controls of driving performance and comfort influence the range?

These are just some of the questions to be answered when developing a new electric vehicle platform. We have asked Salim Chaker – an expert for system simulations at ESI Group with a focus on EVs – how he would approach this task.

Access our On-Demand Webinar to see how Salim creates a system model of an electric vehicle including the electric machine, battery, load model, and controls. Such a model can be extended by cabin climatization, environment conditions, a detailed thermal model of the battery, etc. for even more comprehensive consumption analyses.
