Analysis of Wheel Rolling Resistance in a Personal Electric Vehicle

The emergence PEVs (Personal Electric Vehicle) means an alternative mode of transport, which are cleaner for the environment. Electricity is the power source for PEVs, however the electrical energy stored in PEV batteries are very limited. To increase the battery life in PEVs, which will increase th...
