This work seeks to analyse battery wear in electric vehicles (EV) based on daily usage and battery temperature. An agent-based model (ABM) was built, using Matlab® software, in order to evaluate users' behaviour and represent the output data. Travel input data is obtained from Barcelona's driving survey, and different models of battery electric vehicles (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and electric motorcycles (EM) have been taken into consideration. Battery size characteristics and consumption are different for every model of vehicle, although only lithium ion (Li-ion) battery technology has been modelled and the same voltage profile has been used in all of them. The model successfully represents battery wear as a function of temperature and battery usage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
