This paper presents a detailed simulation model designed for autonomous electric vehicles (AEVs) powered by lithium-ion batteries. It provides insights into the input parameters used in the model and the recuperation of braking energy in AEVs. In addition, the paper offers a thorough analysis of the dynamic characteristics of lithium-ion batteries through simulations of standardized driving cycles, including urban and highway drive cycles. These results are expected to facilitate the progress of AEV battery technology development and promote the creation of more sustainable and efficient self-driving vehicles.
