Method for assessing the energy expenditure of electric vehicles in transport companies
The paper presents a preliminary analysis of the possibility of using selected methods of energy expenditure assessment for an electric vehicle performing specific transport tasks in a transport company.
The paper presents the characteristics of the transport task in the company in question and the method and criteria for the selection of parameters, which, in the opinion of the authors, adequately describe the usefulness of the parameters for determining the energy expenditure of the vehicle generated during the implementation of such a task.
The paper will present the actual characteristics and courses of changes in parameters appropriate for the description of the energy expenditure of a vehicle moving in conditions typical for a selected company.
The methods of preliminary assessment and estimation of energy expenditure proposed by the authors on the basis of experimental studies will be presented, with an attempt to indicate the method and manner which, in the conditions of a specific transport company, should exhibit appropriate functional characteristics for the personnel managing the company\'s vehicle fleet.
