Study of the performance of an electric vehicle

Abstract

This study presents the model of a basic electric vehicle as well as some theoretical concepts used for its development. The simulation assumes a specific driving cycle, a DC motor, the motor controllers combined with a proportional-integral controller and the electric battery. The results confirm that it is a reliable model although it could be improved by complementing it with other technologies. The model has been created using Matlab/Simulink software.
