“…Energy consumption of an EV depends on the characteristics of the vehicle and its drivetrain, the drive cycle (the speed profile driven) and auxiliary consumption. In real-world driving, this speed profile-and therefore energy consumption-is extremely variable and dependent on both road characteristics [9,10], such as road type and altitude profile, and driving style [11,12]. Additionally, the speed profile is affected by a number of external influences, such as traffic [13], weather [14] and driver mood, which either influence the behavior of or impose a behavior on the driver and trigger the use of auxiliaries.…”
