Single- versus Dual-Motor Battery Electric Vehicles Energy Consumption Comparison Across Payloads and Cycles

Dual-motor battery electric vehicle studies in the literature cover various topics, ranging from the proposal of new architectures to advanced and connected energy management systems. Nevertheless, comparisons with single-motor counterparts are limited. Existing works often focus on energy efficiency comparison on specific driving cycles and load conditions, leaving a gap for a more comprehensive assessment. This paper addresses this gap by …
