Abstract: Electric vehicle (EV) energy consumption is different and dependent on number of external factors such as road topology, city driving, highway driving, driving style, ambient temperature etc. Improving battery performance is one of the most important factors in promoting the EV market by prolonging battery life reducing the cost of ownership and giving confidence in the product to potential customer. This paper consider a method of improving battery performance and its characteristics on different load in different vehicles and thus increase holding capacity. This will be realized by finding energy consumption rate(ECR), voltage of battery at different stage of vehicles. The goal of this paper is to detect its power consumption on different vehicle speed, torque, voltage output of the battery. All the testing has been done in an ambient temperature and in a plane road (alpha=0, alpha-inclination). The roads considered for testing are tarmac and gravel road. All the testing has been performed in matlab simulation. For the testing three vehicles have been considered which are Toyota, Tesla-s, and Mercedes Benz. All the three vehicles have their own fixed specification i.e. frontal area, air lag, tire radius etc. at last simulation graph has been compared for all three different vehicles and their battery characteristics.
