Abstract

With the popularization of electric vehicles, more and more attention has been paid to how to select reasonable test methods to evaluate the driving range of electric vehicles. This paper selects two electric vehicle prototypes with different configurations to test the energy consumption of the shortened test cycle at normal temperature and the standard test cycle at low temperature, and analyzes the constant speed working condition in the shortened method and the CLTC-P working condition at low temperature. The results show that both the 100km/h constant speed working condition and the low temperature working condition will cause a significant increase in the energy consumption of electric vehicles, and the energy consumption difference of repeated cycles under the low temperature test condition will also increase significantly compared with that at room temperature. The relevant results are more A comprehensive understanding and evaluation of the energy consumption characteristics of electric vehicles provides a useful reference.
