Batteries in electric vehicles have more mileage in city driving rather than highway driving

Retrieved on:

A 2022 Ford F-150 requires 9.4 and 12.1 litres per 100 km for highway and city driving, respectively.

Key Points:

A 2022 Ford F-150 requires 9.4 and 12.1 litres per 100 km for highway and city driving, respectively.
Traditional fuel-powered automobiles, powered by the internal combustion engines, give higher mileage on a highway compared to city roads.
Second, unlike highway driving, city driving involves more frequent acceleration and braking; every time a fuel-powered automobile accelerates, it consumes more energy than it would consume to maintain speed.
All these factors result in higher gas mileage on highway driving compared to city driving.

Power usage

And will that power requirement be higher (or lower) to drive in the city?
It could be expected that a BEV would require less power to drive on a highway compared to city.
When the BEV operates at high power, only a certain portion of the full energy capacity is available for driving.

Battery testing

We took a cylindrical battery cell like the ones used to make battery packs for BEVs and computed its energy at different discharge currents.
First, we fully charged the battery and then discharged it at a certain power until it was fully depleted.
When we computed the total energy discharged by the battery at each experiment, we found that the lower the current, the higher the discharge energy capacity.
The battery management system is very important, and in some BEVs, it may be programmed to prevent the driver from fully depleting the battery pack so that long-term health can be maintained.

Informed consumers

On average, the tested BEVs required lower power to drive 100 kilometres in city roads compared to highways, confirming our explanation.
Our findings suggest that those considering an electric vehicle would find it useful if power consumption guides included this information.
