In this roundtable discussion led by MathWorks, a panel of industry experts discuss the requirements, technologies, and challenges in developing electric vehicles to meet the needs of diverse automotive applications, and how simulation is a core tool in optimising designs for the whole life of the vehicles.

Key topics and takeaways:

  • How use cases and range requirements differ across EV segments (freight/delivery/passenger vehicles)
  • Current and emerging technology for EVs
  • The role of multi-domain simulation in vehicle design optimisation

MathWorks

MathWorks is the leading developer of mathematical computing software.

MATLAB, the language of engineers and scientists, is a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization, and numeric computation.

Simulink is a block diagram environment for simulation and Model-Based Design of multidomain and embedded engineering systems.

Engineers across the automotive sector use these tools for vehicle design, including electric vehicle modelling and simulation, and controller development and deployment to embedded hardware.
