Analysis of Dynamic Parameters of Electric and Combustion Vehicles

This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic parameters of vehicles powered by an electric drive unit based on a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and a conventional drive system based on a spark-ignition combustion engine. The research subjects were a Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ and an Audi A3 8V 35 TFSI with a turbocharged 1.5 dm3 engine. The paper presents an analysis of changes in power and torque as a function of engine speed (ICE) and driving speed of the electric vehicle (BEV). The study demonstrated fundamental differences, primarily the progression of the external characteristic curves of the engines and changes in vehicle dynamics. The research shows differences in the elasticity depending on the type of the drive motor. The research was conducted using a chassis dynamometer that allowed for a deeper understanding of the operation of the electric vehicle drive system and the identification of significant differences and dependencies in the external characteristics.
