Week-3 Challenge: ADVISOR Tool

1. For EV_defaults_in file, if cargo mass is 500 kg with all other default conditions, can the vehicle travel for 45 km with FTP drive cycle? Conclude your observations.

=)

-From above we can see that Vehicle only covers distance of 41.4 km with 500 kg cargo mass.

2. In the above case, try changing the battery capacity and repeat the simulation.

=)

- From above we get that on increasing the battery module from 25 to 30, distance covered by vehicle or range of vehicle increases to 49.1 from 41.4 km, similary on decreasing the battery module to 20 range changes to 33.5 km

3. Perform gradeability test with PRIUS_Jpn_defaults_in file.
Compare your results in table and conclude.

=)

-Here by increasing speed from 55 mph to 70 mph Gradeabilty(%) decreases from 8.9 % to 6.3 %.
