Comparison of EV Consumption Based on Simulation of Real Driving Condition

This work examines the impact of driving styles on the energy consumption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) against the backdrop of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. It presents a model estimating EV energy consumption, incorporating factors like traffic, weather, and driving behavior. A case study using a BMW i3 explores the energy consumption differences between aggressive and cautious driving styles in various urban, suburban, and highway scenarios. Results indicate that driving style significantly affects EV energy consumption, underscoring the importance of efficient driving practices in reducing emissions and enhancing the environmental benefits of vehicle electrification.
