Abstract :Electric vehicles, which are an important part of sustainable energy technologies, occupy an important place in our daily life. More efficient use of electric vehicles will ensure more efficient use of sustainable energy sources. It is not possible for the human brain to determine the most efficient driving characteristics by the drivers. In this study, energy efficient driving optimization of electric vehicles was realized. Along the route, optimum speeds were determined in terms of energy, by using the road and engine characteristics. Geographical information systems and genetic algorithm have been used effectively in the solution of the problem. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was revealed with many test studies. With this study, an algorithm that provides an energy-efficient driving for electrical vehicles was developed. The results will contribute to the development of electric vehicle technologies.
