Estimation of the Range of a Light-Duty Commercial Vehicle

Electric vehicles are now a completely familiar part of the street scene. Their number is determined by many factors, one of the most significant of which is price. With the ever-increasing supply, it is becoming increasingly difficult for buyers to decide between different vehicles, as in many cases, there is a minimal difference between the two vehicles. A parameter influencing such a purchase is the vehicle’s range. Experience shows that in many cases the range given in the catalogue and the real, available range differ significantly. The available range changes dynamically while driving, typically showing a decreasing value. This research describes a range estimation model that takes into account driving habits and temperature conditions.
