Specification

DESC:CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[001] The application claims priority from an Indian Provisional Application Number: 202441045246 filed on 12-06-2024, the complete disclosures of which, are herein incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[002] The embodiments herein generally relate to an electric vehicle and more particularly a system and a method to estimate a driving range of the electric vehicle.
Description of the Related Art
[003] Nowadays usage of electric vehicles has increased a lot due to their lightweight, and lower maintenance cost. In addition to that, fuel demand and fuel price hikes play a vital role in the growth of the electric vehicles. However, the electric vehicle has a few disadvantages too. One of them is range anxiety. As used herein, the range anxiety is a fear that the electric vehicles may not have sufficient battery charge to reach their destination. So, a rider of the electric vehicle should be aware of a driving range.
[004] In a conventional approach, the electric vehicles include an arrangement/setup that estimates the driving range. However, the conventional approach considers only a few parameters like the State Of Charge (SOC) and the distance that needs to be covered to reach the destination. Since the conventional approach does not consider the weight of the rider of the electric vehicle and different road conditions or consider the weight of the rider of the electric vehicle and different road conditions as a constant it might end up with an inaccurate driving range estimation.
[005] Furthermore, other conventional approaches are available in the market to estimate but those approaches do not consider the traction power of the electric vehicle, the transmission gear ratio and efficiency of the electric vehicles, real-time traffic updates, behavior of a driver of the electric vehicles, and drive system losses of the electric vehicles. The conventional approaches do not consider the necessary parameters to provide an accurate drive range estimation to the rider of the electric vehicles. So, the conventional approaches are not efficient in estimating the driving range of the electric vehicles to avoid the range anxiety of the rider.
[006] Accordingly, there remains a need for an improvised system to estimate the driving range of the electric vehicles and a method to operate the same and therefore address the aforementioned issues.
