Abstract We present an approach allowing us to compare the energy consumption of an electric vehicle (EV) in different maneuvers of driving scenarios. This approach is used in order to estimate the potential of Eco-driving for reducing EV consumption, and also to analyze where this gain comes from. Drivability constraints were taken into account in the study. We present energy loss distribution among the different components of the vehicle. In simulations, we considered cruising, acceleration and deceleration scenarios in urban driving. Results seem to show that reducing driver aggressiveness on accelerations is the main factor in reducing EV consumption in urban settings.
