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

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, June 28, 2023

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.
