Calculate Top Speed and 0-60 of an Electric Racecar (FSAE)

This video explains the equations linked below. Follow the steps to calculate the speed and acceleration of a racecar given as many parameters as you can find (drag, rolling resistance, efficiency, etc) for accurate results. Matlab or a similar program should be used to easily change parameters and see how different components affect performance.

Hey guys! I realize the links are bad and will fix them when I get the chance. Idk why they got cut off

[@eliasmonge6853]

Great content here! Thanks for sharing. I have been in FSAE for 5 years and a very few people share what they know like you do.

[@calebsengineeringprojects6202]

I agree, it made starting our rookie team very difficult. Hence when I graduated, I wanted a way to continue helping my team and any other beginners.

thanks a lot man ,

Hi Caleb! Would you be able to share the matlab code you used for the calculations?

[@aravindgopal3555]

Hi, thanks this video has been really helpful. But shouldn't we consider the Cog position in the equations?

[@rkoburakevo5596]

Should we calculate the moment of inertia for all rotating components, such as all four wheel rims and tires

[@damoekhemmetv2747]

Hi! is it possible to share the mathlab? thx!

[@eliasmonge6853]

6:35 I did my time calculations with other equation. Is there a chance you could give it a check to see your opinions of it?

[@akhilsharma6162]

Your videos are real helpful, is there any means through which i can get in touch with you since this time our team is a bunch of newcomers and we really don't know how to proceed

Hi Akhil! Sorry for not seeing this sooner. If you still want to talk, my LinkedIn is included in the video description

I have top speed, 3 acceleration performance and 1 braking performance for an EV. How do I find peak torque and peak power from it? Thanks!!

[@al3x_k388]

Would you be able to share an example matlab file?

[@MartinInAmsterdam]

Metric would have been more relevant to 95% of the global population, and easier.

I hear you! That's why aside from the bit at 2:10, which is not used again, the entire thing is symbolic. You can use whatever units you like!
