Abstract
In the last decade, the electric vehicle technology has been establishing and shows a great potential to become predominant in mobility sector. One of the critical problems of current technology is a limited vehicle range compared to extended charging times. Energy consumption of HVAC unit, especially in winter season, can remarkably affect the range. This work evaluates the benefits of introducing a thermal energy storage able to recover the regenerative braking energy excess, in terms of range extension of a light duty commercial vehicle. A detailed digital twin model of the vehicle has been implemented into the Matlab/Simulink platform to this aim. Results show potential benefits up to 10% of increase in vehicle range under winter conditions. Thermal Energy Storage has been then confirming a viable and effective mean to increase the EV range especially under cold ambient conditions.
