Abstract: Modern development of electric vehicles imposes an extremely important requirement related to their driving range. In addition to traction force and acceleration, driving range is one of the most important performance indicators that contributes to the assessment of the functional quality of a vehicle.Driving range is a measure of energy autonomy, and low autonomy is one of the biggest limitations to the wider adoption of electric vehicles.The main issue behind the limited autonomy lies in the capacity (and design concept) of the embedded energy storage system. The design of such a storage system should enable high operational efficiency with the smallest possible volume and mass of the propulsion battery. Another challenge related to vehicle range concerns the management of available energy, which involves controlling electricity consumption. This means identifying all vehicle usage options that affect energy (and power) consumption, keeping in mind that the battery is the only energy source in fully electric vehicles.

Keywords: electric vehicle, driving range,speed profile, acceleration and deceleration modes, battery power
