Abstract

Manufacturers of electric cars provide their vehicles with many technical data that are important for the user. This includes information on dimensions, mass, performance, consumption, battery capacity, range, payload, etc. However, some interesting parameters are usually withheld from the end user. These parameters include, for example, the loss in the energy flow from the battery to the driving wheels or the rolling resistance of the vehicle. However, since these loss parameters have a significant influence on the vehicle’s consumption, it is of interest to know them. This article presents a method for determining these two parameters. The basis for this are simple driving tests that can be carried out by anyone on public roads.
Keywords: electric vehicles; loss parameters; efficiency; rolling resistance electric vehicles; loss parameters; efficiency; rolling resistance
