Performance Analysis of Electric Vehicles Available in the Current Automotive Market

Résumé

In the current car market, electric vehicles have begun to be accepted more and more by consumers, which has led the conventional vehicles’ manufacturers (and not only) to produce and sale a wider range of such vehicles. However, there is still a huge potential for development in this respect, with every car class still being available to accept new electric vehicle models. In this context, the present paper presents a research on identifying the main technical and performance characteristics of electric vehicles available in the current automotive market and establishing degrees of correlation between them. The strongest statistical correlation has been identified as finding that of the battery's energy capacity and the possible autonomy/range can be achieved for a full battery’s charge.
