What is the most energy-efficient speed for electric vehicles on highways?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles are most energy-efficient at speeds between 60-80 km/h. Structural aspects: Pure electric vehicles do not have a fuel engine; instead, they are equipped with a battery pack matched with an electric motor to drive the vehicle. Therefore, there is no transmission in the power output process. This also means that the output power of the electric motor is directly proportional to the vehicle's speed. As a result, for pure electric vehicles, the faster the speed, the greater the power output from the motor. Reducing power consumption: Power consumption can be reduced by reasonably utilizing onboard electrical appliances. For pure electric vehicles, the main power source is the battery pack, and the air conditioning system is no exception. Frequent use of air conditioning in summer and heating in winter increases power consumption. Therefore, reducing the frequency of use can help lower power consumption.
