Abstract

This paper aims to present concrete mathematical models, translated into simulation schemes, for the calculation of the forces acting on a car at its interaction with the road and the atmosphere, in order to properly size the electric motor and batteries of an electric car. A table with predefined values ​​such as vehicle mass, rolling resistance coefficient, gear ratio, wheel radius was calculated to calculate these forces, and these data were used throughout the work. In the second section of the paper, the values ​​of the resistance forces that oppose the advance of the vehicle and the traction force necessary to overcome these resistive forces were determined. The mathematical calculation model was compiled in Matlab and the graphs in Figures 3-9 were obtained.
