Energy Consumption of a Battery Electric Vehicle for a Comfort Ride on Moroccan Roads

Tremendous Research work is devoted to advancing state of art in intelligent transportation systems, with the ultimate objective of maximizing the beneficial effect of the transportation sector on the environment. One of the most critical parts of balancing energy consumption and resource exploitation in sustainable development is the introduction of decarbonized transportation in the form of electric cars. This article discusses the results of a study that evaluates the energy needed to power a battery electric vehicle (BEV) when the driver switches to the comfort ride option. We have modeled a Battery electric vehicle, thermal management system, and Adaptive Cruise (ACC) blocks using MATLAB/Simulink. To evaluate our developed model, we have conducted simulation tests under a variety of settings, including route and temperature data from Moroccan roads.

I. Introduction

As the automobile industry evolves toward a more sustainable future, the efficiency and advantages of BEV have become an increasingly important topic of research.
