Abstract

This paper presents an energy consumption evaluation method for electric vehicles under different cooling and heating conditions. First, using the actual driving test data of electric vehicles, the weight coefficient of the energy consumption value per 100 km of the electric vehicle undercooling, heating, and non-cooling heating is obtained by the least-square method in the comprehensive energy consumption value of the electric vehicle per 100 km throughout the year. Then, the above weight coefficients are combined with the test results of the bench test to obtain the comprehensive energy consumption per 100 km of the electric vehicle in the whole year. The relevant vehicles are tested, and the simulation and experimental results show that the obtained weight coefficients of the least-squares method can better reflect the real energy consumption of the entire vehicle, and the energy consumption of 100 km is an evaluation method for electric vehicles. A feasible evaluation method is proposed in this paper.
