Research on Adaptation and Reliability Testing Methods for Electric Vehicles under Southeast Asian Climatic Conditions

This paper explores the adaptability and reliability testing methods of electric vehicles under the unique high-temperature and high-humidity climate conditions in Southeast Asia. The focus of the research here is on five key performance evaluation contents, namely reliability driving test, charging performance test, range assessment, air conditioning cooling efficiency, and in-vehicle air quality monitoring. Relying on a meticulously designed experimental plan, standardized testing procedures, and comprehensive data analysis, this paper assesses the performance of electric vehicles under extreme environmental conditions. The research results show that the climate in Southeast Asia poses significant challenges to the battery systems, powertrains, and thermal management systems of electric vehicles. Based on empirical results, some improvement suggestions are made to support the deployment and application of electric vehicles in this region.
