Abstract: This paper develops a customised protocol to determine real driving range of electric vehicles under variable driving conditions. The method bases on the WLTP protocol allowing the user specific customisation. The protocol uses standard dynamic equations for the mathematical model, considering the energy consumption and the energy recovery from regenerative break. The methodology applies to specific urban routes combining downtown and peripheral paths, comparing the results with WLTP ones for the same driving conditions; the comparison shows close agreement between the customised protocol and the WLTP within 97% accuracy. The proposed protocol uses specific algorithms adapted to the way of driving and type and characteristics of the route, being more realistic and accurate than the standard WLTP protocol. The method applies to any type of electric vehicle, urban route, and way of driving and variable conditions, making it a very useful model to predict EV driving range.
