The Impact of Operating an Electric Vehicle in Relation to its Usage Patterns and its Effect on the Operation of the Distribution Network

The article deals with comparing the influence of the route profile on the energy consumption of a battery electric vehicle, taking into account a more detailed description of the route profile and the characteristics of vehicle acceleration and deceleration, including energy recuperation. For the mentioned simulations, route models were compiled based on empirical map data from the territory of Slovakia. These models were then applied using Matlab Simulink environment to an electric vehicle model in order to evaluate the energy consumption for individual selected routes.
