Simulation Analysis of Pure Electric Vehicle Equipped with Continuously Variable Transmission

This study looks into the performance traits of a pure electric car that has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system by doing careful simulations. The research is mostly about checking how well it performs dynamically and how much better its energy efficiency is compared to regular designs. With the help of AVL Cruise software, a detailed drivetrain model was made to test things like how fast it can accelerate, its top speed, how well it climbs hills, and how much energy it uses when driven in standard ways. The simulation results show some big improvements: the CVT car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.92 seconds, which is 14% quicker than expected; it can reach a top speed of 179 km/h, 15% higher than planned; and it can climb really steep hills at a 41.33% gradient. The energy efficiency analysis also found that it uses less power, consuming just 15.88 kWh per 100km under NEDC conditions and 13.72 kWh per 100km in UDC cycles, which are 21% and 24% less than before. These results prove that the CVT works well in keeping the motor running efficiently by changing ratios all the time. The study points out the technical benefits of CVT systems in making performance and energy saving balanced, but it also finds some practical problems like environmental factors and system integration issues. This work gives useful ideas for making new electric vehicle transmission systems and hints at good ways to improve them in the future.
