How Much Difference Between Calculated and Actual Range of Electric Vehicles?
1 Answers
Electric vehicle range calculation and actual difference are related to load weight, functional modules, ambient temperature, road conditions, speed, etc., making it difficult to calculate a specific value. Reasons for shortened electric vehicle range: 1. Motor issues: When motor efficiency decreases, the useless work increases, wasting power and reducing the range. 2. Tire pressure problems: At the same driving distance, low pressure increases the tire contact area, consuming more power, making it hard to move and reducing the range. 3. Controller issues: The controller is one of the core components. A faulty controller causes excessive starting current and prolonged starting time, wasting power and shortening the range. 4. Weather reasons: In winter, lower temperatures increase electrolyte viscosity, electrochemical reaction resistance, and reduce battery capacity, leading to decreased electric vehicle range.
