Validation of the Energy Consumption of an Electric Vehicle System Model in the 3D Environment of the High-Speed Handling Module of the ZalaZONE Automotive Proving Grounds

Contemporary research on electric vehicle (EV) consumption is predominantly focused on the vehicle’s powertrain and battery technology. However, the analyses indicate that the actual state of the various electrical subsystems in the vehicle can have a significant impact on the overall consumption figures. The primary objective of this article is to demonstrate the capabilities of our vehicle simulation model, which was developed with a particular focus on the electrical subsystems of vehicles, when employed in a 3D digital representation of a real environment. The central scientific contribution of this work is the systematic quantification of subsystem-level energy usage in real-world scenario simulation. This provides a novel framework for the evaluation of EV energy distribution, thereby informing future strategies and models.
