The Aerodynamic Optimization of New Energy Vehicles

Abstract

In the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing, power batteries serve as fundamental components. However, they currently face challenges in terms of storage and discharge capacity, safety measures, service life, and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, battery recycling poses environmental pollution risks while frequent replacements increase usage costs. Both factors hinder the development of new energy vehicles. Therefore, given limited advancements in battery technology, enhancing the overall kinetic energy of new energy vehicles through aerodynamic optimization has become a crucial issue that most manufacturers need to address. This paper aims to provide a concise introduction and discussion on external factors influencing the kinetic energy of new energy vehicles by reducing aerodynamic resistance during vehicle operation and improving vehicle body stability through adjustments made to its surface as well as front and rear sections. The objective is to minimize specific energy consumption and enhance kinetic energy in new energy vehicles. By integrating these research findings with relevant literature on this subject matter, this paper presents feasible schemes along with their limitations offering valuable references and inspiration for researchers exploring advancements in new energy vehicle technology.
