Abstract

In response to growing concerns about fuel consumption and the environmental impact of fuel pollutants, vehicle manufacturers are increasingly focusing on electric vehicles (EVs) due to their potential for energy conservation and reduced carbon emissions. This shift has led to a rise in the demand for electric vehicles, while the use of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles has been on the decline. This research aims to investigate the impact of driving cycle variations on the performance of EV batteries by developing a mathematical model using MATLAB. The model simulates different driving conditions and analyzes how road smoothness affects battery energy consumption. The results demonstrate that smoother roads lead to lower battery consumption rates, indicating an inverse relationship between road resistance and energy usage. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of regenerative braking, which recovers energy during braking and contributes to recharging the battery, thus improving overall energy efficiency. These findings provide valuable insights into optimizing EV energy consumption and the potential for improving battery performance through better driving conditions.
