This paper is the result of the electric vehicle (EV) powertrain and fuel powered vehicle analysis conducted by using the Ipoh driving cycle (IDC) in Simulink. This thorough analysis is on studying the effectiveness of fuel-powered vehicle and EV on the IDC which involves a several main components of an EV which includes motor and controller subsystem, battery system, driver system and the parameter calculations. The model also involves a dashboard in which all parameters are viewed in it. Several parameters were chosen for this analysis, which is time, distance travelled, average speed, average running speed, average acceleration, average deceleration, acceleration percentage, deceleration percentage, idling percentage, cruising percentage, kWh and fuel costing, battery voltage, current, state-of-charge (SOC) and power. This paper involves two major methods which are EV modelling and EV analysis. Several parameters are considered during the modelling process; aerodynamic drag force, rolling resistance force, gravitational force and cumulative tractive force which impacts the efficiency of the EV. EV is proven to be more efficient in which the cost of travelling with an EV on IDC is 60% lower compared to a fuel powered vehicle.
