EV Acceleration

The EV acceleration page determines acceleration for an electric vehicle based on the following inputs:

Front weight and Rear weight are used to determine acceleration rate, traction, and weight transfer.

Drag coefficient is used to determine aerodynamic drag.

Frontal area is used to determine aerodynamic drag.

Tire pressure is used to determine rolling resistance. (Acceleration traction is used to indicate available acceleration.)

Front tire diameter and Rear tire diameter are used to determine engine speed and wheel thrust.

CG height is used to determine weight transfer.

Wheelbase is used to determine weight transfer.

Acceleration traction is used to indicate available acceleration. (Tire pressure is not used for traction calculation, only for rolling resistance.)

Altitude is used to determine available power.

Road grade is used to determine acceleration rate.

Wind speed is used to determine aerodynamic drag.

Time interval is the time between each line in the outputs.

Time span is the overall total time of the simulation.

Outputs can be displayed in English or Metric units by changing the measure setting.
