This study addresses the pivotal role of driving cycles in assessing the energy consumption and performance of electrical vehicles (EVs). Understanding how EVs function under diverse driving conditions becomes paramount as the global shift towards sustainable transportation escalates. Central to this transition is understanding the energy consumption and driving range of EVs across different models and manufacturers. We analyze EV energy consumption across various cycles including, UDDS, Modern Indian drive cycle, and real-world driving cycle in Nepali urban and sub-urban route, using a calibrated Simulink model. Utilizing real-world data from diverse sources including manufacturer specifications, independent testing, and user feedback, we assess the performance of EVs in terms of energy efficiency and practical driving range. Our analysis explores factors influencing energy consumption such as vehicle weight, aerodynamics, battery capacity, and driving conditions. This research offers insights into the practical expected range of an electric vehicle for several route and driving scenarios and also into the prediction of future energy demand due to an increase in number of electric vehicles. By bridging the gap between realistic vehicle models and driving patterns, we contribute to EV policy and user decision-making in the context of South-Asian cities. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of EV performance dynamics, facilitating informed decision-making and further advancements in electric vehicle technology.
