Abstract—Electric vehicles are becoming part of the modern transportation system because of their reduced dependence on petroleum-based fuels and reduced local noise and emissions during vehicle operations. In line with the general trend of the world, to have in-depth research on electric vehicles, it is necessary to have a reliable electric vehicle model. The study built an electric vehicle model using Simscape and Matlab Simulink tools. It used the built model to study the changes in dynamic parameters of the vehicle under standard working conditions according to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), including four Urban Driving Cycle (ECE15) and one Extra Urban Driving Cycle (EUDC). The model allows for determining typical parameters for dynamic features such as velocity, acceleration, and tangential traction force at the active wheel. At the same time, the model also allows for determining the parameters of the electric motor, such as voltage, current intensity, and power. The accuracy of the results confirms that the electric vehicle model is highly reliable and can be used for further research on electric vehicles.
