Supercapacitor, Electric Vehicle, EstablishmentAbstract
The concept of employing supercapacitors for electric vehicles is discussed in this paper. The design of the supercapacitor capacity is optimized and can be used in a four-seater electric vehicle with a total weight of 480 kg for driving on the roads around Dhonburi Rajabhat University, Samut Prakan to serve students between the school building 4 and the building library. The results showed that supercapacitors utilized as the power supply for electric vehicles have a maximum efficiency of 97.06%. It takes 315 s to traverse 1100 m at an average speed of 12.57 km/h. The minimal voltage at which the supercapacitor cut-off the power supply is 30.10 V. Every time the vehicle returns to the building, the vehicle must be recharged. The ability to drive electric vehicles with a supercapacitor at distances adequate for the supercapacitor's capacitance is satisfactory. The break-even point for employing supercapacitors instead of batteries to power electric vehicles is 127 days.
