prices have declined, as depicted in Figure 1, where the expected
price (according to the fit) in 2020 will be $112 per kWh.
The industry of EV has grown rapidly in the last five years
and is expected to continue as the electric range is improved.
This is noticed by the market decline of conventional vehicles.
With the increase in the automation market demand, however,
comes the increase in fuel consumption. This adversely affects
the environment, especially with the CO2 emissions. Regular
vehicles can only run on petroleum as opposed to EVs or
hybrid EVs. This alternative method of transportation has a
huge impact on the environment as it reduces the toxic emis-
sions by making use of electricity and/or batteries.

The battery needs require the electrical power into the motor
as well as any additional power from powering on or activating
the EV’s accessories. For instance, turning on the headlights
consumes power, and that has to be accounted for in the
battery needs. Another example would be turning on the
radio. These power requirements are negligible when

4. Conclusion
In this paper, we model an EV while taking into consideration
its vehicle dynamics, transmission performance, and battery.
The model is done in Matlab/Simulink, and all the parameters
used mimic real EVs. There are three forces acting on the
modelled EV, which are the aerodynamic drag, linear accelera-
tion, and rolling resistance forces, as we assume level ground
for the hill-climbing force. The motor efficiency modelled
reached an average of 73%, which meets the expectations of
EV’s motor efficiency. The power required from the battery
may reach up to 700 kW for high speeds. As for the initial

and the initial start of the vehicle. Part of the future work
includes modelling the depth of discharge for multiple battery
types to ensure it doesn’t exceed 90%.
