Cover Story: This study investigates the influence of traffic on battery electric vehicle (BEV) energy efficiency by analyzing real-world driving data. A total of 30 BEV inexperienced drivers drove a 2017 Volkswagen eGolf on a route with various road types in two different traffic intensity scenarios: (i) morning commute hours with higher traffic congestion and (ii) lower congestion hours throughout the middle of the day. The study discovered that traffic significantly impacts BEV efficiency, with additional consumption of approximately 4–5% in the high traffic scenario. The additional range potential by avoiding traffic for this particular vehicle and test route can be quantified as up to seven miles. Considering these findings can help stakeholders to understand how eco-driving can be strategically improved by selecting trip times and routes that avoid high traffic intensity. View this paper
