Popis: A great many EVs in cold areas suffer from range attenuation in winter, which causes driver anxiety concerning the driving range, representing a hot topic. Many researchers have analyzed the reasons for range attenuation but the coupling mechanism of the battery as well as the vehicle and driving conditions have not been clearly estimated. To quantitatively investigate the driving range attenuation of electric vehicles (EVs) during winter, an EV model mainly integrated with a passenger-cabin thermal model, battery model, and vehicle dynamic model was constructed and simulated based on the mass-produced Wuling HongGuang Mini EV. Real vehicle dynamic driving data was used to validate the model. Based on NEDC driving conditions, the driving range calculation formula and energy flow diagram analysis method were used. The reason for attenuation was evaluated quantitatively. Results show that battery energy loss and breaking recovery energy loss contribute nearly half of the range attenuation, which may be alleviated by battery preheating. Suggestions for extending driving range are proposed based on the research.
