Abstract

This paper was aimed to investigate the potential benefits of switch conventional vehicles to electrical vehicles. Vehicle activities were collected in Baghdad city, Iraq and analysed. The Autonomie simulation program was used to simulate electric vehicles on standard and real world driving cycles. The results showed that vehicle activities in Baghdad city were quite similar to most crowded cities such as New York. The expected energy consumption may decrease by about 67% as compared to the conventional vehicle. However, the decrease in energy consumption was about 35% on highway standard driving cycle.
