INTRODUCTION
Electric vehicle dynamics refer to how an EV moves and responds to various input and external forces.Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly important in the context of addressing several key challenges and goals related to the automotive industry and the broader society.Researchers must have a thorough grasp of how different components interact and affect overall vehicle behaviour in order to design cars that fulfil specified performance and safety requirements.This understanding of vehicle dynamics is essential for designing cars with the optimum combination of qualities, making it a crucial area of expertise in the automotive and allied sectors [1].A more efficient, adaptable, and reliable approach to capture, store, and use energy from renewable sources is to use hybrid energy storage systems, which combine several energy storage technologies.Hybrid systems may get around the drawbacks of separate storage technologies and improve energy management for a variety of applications by integrating technologies like batteries, super capacitors, and flywheels.They are the best option for high-power, long-duration applications, such as electric cars and grid-scale energy storage, due to their capacity to store and distribute substantial quantities of energy.Hybrid systems can be more effective and work at their best based on individual needs thanks to the clever integration of several technologies [2].In order to provide flawless coordination among various storage components, enable effective system operation, and increase the system's lifespan, advanced control algorithms and energy management systems are essential.By cost-effectively storing extra energy during times of high generation and releasing it during times of low generation or high demand, hybrid energy storage systems offer a solution.This feature not only makes it easier for renewable energy to be integrated more fully into the electrical grid, but it also lessens reliance on traditional fossil fuel-based power [3-1285 (2024)  ].Hybrid energy storage systems are also anticipated to improve grid stability and resilience in the future.These systems can offer crucial grid stability services including frequency management, voltage support, and peak reduction because to their quick reaction times.Hybrid systems reduce changes in electrical supply and demand by quickly delivering or absorbing power as needed, hence increasing the grid's overall dependability and resilience to interruptions [5].The versatility and scalability of hybrid energy storage systems is exceptional, enabling customization in accordance with particular needs and applications.These systems may be scaled up for grid-scale applications of any size or down for smaller home installations.Additionally, their architecture may be made adaptable to incorporate new storage technologies as they develop, assuring compatibility with upcoming advances, such as increased thermal storage or hydrogen storage [6][7].Several factors contribute to the distinctive dynamic behaviour of electric vehicles like Electric Motor, Battery, Inverter, Drivetrain, Weight, Electronic Control Systems as shown in figure 1. Charging stations, also known as EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment), are installed at various locations such as homes, workplaces, and public areas.These stations are responsible for physically connecting the grid to vehicles and delivering electrical power to the EV's battery.Power converters in electric vehicles (EVs) are essential components that play a crucial role in managing and controlling the flow of electrical energy between different parts of the vehicle's electrical system.These converters help convert and manage electrical power efficiently for various functions within an EV [8].EVs use electric motors as their primary propulsion system instead of internal combustion engines found in traditional gasoline or diesel vehicles.Electric motors play a fundamental role in the operation of EVs and are responsible for converting electrical energy from the vehicle's battery into mechanical energy to propel the vehicle.The drive axle is a crucial component of the powertrain responsible for transmitting power from the electric motor(s) to the vehicle's wheels, enabling propulsion.The design of the drive axle in an EV is different from that in a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle due to the unique characteristics of electric motors [9].

OVERVIEW OF HYBRIDIZATION TECHNIQUES
Different storage technologies are employed in an assortment of hybrid energy storage processes to provide efficient and adaptive energy storage systems.Here are some common HESS: 2.1 Hybridization of Battery and Super-Capacitor (SC): This system combines SC, which have a lower energy density but a faster rate of energy delivery and absorption, with batteries, which offer high energy density but relatively sluggish reaction times.The system is suited for applications like regenerative braking systems and electric cars due to the combination's ability to store and transfer huge quantities of energy fast.
2.2 Hybridization with Battery and Ultra-Capacitor (UC): This mechanism combines batteries and UC, similarly as the battery-SC hybrid.In juxtaposition with conventional capacitors, ultra-capacitors, often referred to as electrochemical capacitors, have a greater power density as well as faster chargedischarge rates.High energy density of the batteries and the ultra-capacitors' instantaneous response and cycling capabilities are advantageous to the hybrid system.

Hybridization with Battery and Flywheel:
With this mechanism, batteries' high energy density and flywheels' high power density and quick response times are combined.Long-term energy storage is handled by batteries, and short-term power assistance is provided by flywheels.To control unexpected power fluctuations and provide a steady power supply, the flywheel can rapidly charge and release energy.

Hybridization with Battery and Solar Cell:
This technique combines photovoltaic, or PV, panels and energy storage batteries.When solar energy generation is greater than needed, the extra power is stored in the batteries to be utilized at a later time when solar energy generation diminishes or when demand is at its peak.Even during times of little sunlight, the hybrid system offers a more dependable and regular power source from solar energy.

Hybridization with Compressed Air-Energy Storage (CAES) System
: By compressing air and then releasing it to generate electricity, CAES devices store energy.In a hybrid structure, CAES systems are combined with batteries or other energy storage technologies to increase their effectiveness and efficiency.The system's overall efficiency and flexibility are enhanced by the batteries' fast power injection or absorption to deal with unexpected changes in electricity demand.
2.6 Hybridization with Hydroelectric System: These systems incorporate both conventional hydropower and energy storage technology.Potential energy is created when additional electricity generated during periods of low demand is used for moving liquid from the bottom reservoir to a higher reservoir.In order to enhance the electricity produced by the conventional hydropower plant at times of high demand, the stored water is released.This hybrid system increases flexibility and makes better use of the existing water resources.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES DYNAMICS
Electric vehicle dynamics is the study of how electric cars (EVs) move, behave, and perform in relation to numerous pressures and conditions that affect their handling.It covers the examination of how the vehicle reacts to various inputs and environmental factors, including stability, steering, suspension, tireroad contact, acceleration, and braking.To create the electric powertrain, it is necessary to understand the vehicle driving needs and performance parameters.The primary load forces of aerodynamic drag FD, rolling resistance FR, and climbing resistance acting on the vehicle FC, as shown in Fig. 2

Basic Power, Energy and Speed Relationships
Work performed per second is referred to as power.The watt (W) is the symbol for power.The device.Power needed to move a vehicle forward at a constant speed is equal to product of F and v [11].In an equation: Where s is distance travelled and t is amount of time needed.Distance measured in meter(m), time measured in second(s), Speed measured in meter per second(m/s) and force(F) is measured in Newton.When anything can do tasks, it is considered to have energy.Joule (sign J) is unit of energy and work.It is just necessary to multiply power by time to get energy E needed to move the object at a constant velocity.

Energy = Power × Time
The aforementioned equation may be revised to read as follows in order to express distance in terms of energy, velocity, and power:

Aerodynamic Drag
Aerodynamic drag is term for air's opposition to a moving object.Definitions of FD and PD aerodynamic forces operating on the vehicle are; And Where v is vehicle's speed in m/s, v ୟ୧୰ is wind speed in m/s, ρ is air denseness, C ୈ is aerodynamic drag coefficient, A is vehicle's cross sectional area, and so on.From equation (5).It is evident that aerodynamic drag power depends on speed's cube, and this load often represents largest load while at high speeds: The force directly relates to aerodynamic drag to the energy E ୈ needed to overcome high-speed drag or the square of speed.Thus, at high speeds it can be approximated by; For instance, if we just take into account the drag force, the energy needed increases by a factor of four when vehicle's velocity is doubled.Similar to this, when a vehicle is being driven by drag, the distance it can go for a given amount of stored energy is inversely proportional to square of velocity of vehicles; Based on whether the vehicle is moving into a headwind or a tailwind, the drag force changes, and it also increases or decreases with motor vehicle's cross-sectional area.A headwind causes a positive speed and boosts the drag because the air has a velocity of (v + v ୟ୧୰ ).relative to the car, in contrast, a tailwind results in a negative speed and reduces drag since the net air velocity is lessened as (v − v ୟ୧୰ ) [14].

Rolling Resistance
Combined forces from all frictional loads brought on by the drivetrain's friction tire's deflection on the road surface is known as rolling resistance [12].The equation describes the rolling resistance Where m is the mass of the vehicle, g is the acceleration caused by gravity, which is typically 9.81 m/s 2 , and CR is the rolling resistance coefficient.The rolling resistance is directly affected by the vehicle's weight.At slow speeds, the rolling resistance coefficient usually remains fairly constant.High speeds cause it to rise, but the impacts are less noticeable because drag dominates the vehicle losses.Highpressure tires are used by EVs to reduce rolling resistance.An EV tire's normal value of rolling resistance is 0.01 or less.Be mindful that the energy lost due to rolling resistance raises tire pressure and temperature.

Gradability
Grad ability is the steepest slope that a car can travel at a particular speed [13].Depending on whether the automobile is going up or down an incline, the load power may rise or decrease.The upward force or downward force is provided by: Where g is acceleration imposed on by gravity angle of slope.Motor is operating because there is a positive climbing force.The battery may experience energy recovery as a result of the negative degradation force, an approach to slowing the vehicle that is frequently utilized in electrically powered cars instead of friction braking.The downgrade power is: The produced power, P (regenerative), may be fed back into the battery:

Vehicle Acceleration
The time it takes to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (Mile/Hour) is commonly used to calculate nominal vehicle power requirements.Under these circumstances, Propulsion system's full torque and power are definitely needed.Force needed to accelerate or stop a vehicle, F ୟ is determined by Newton's second law of motion for linear system .
Where a is the linear acceleration.
The combined acceleration, load, and climbing forces result in motive force F ୫ needed to accelerate v ehicle, which is calculated as follows: As a result, by modifying Equation (20) to incorporate Equations ( 10), ( 16), and ( 19), the following motive force may be stated: Motive force is the name given to the force required for linear motion.Its driving torque When the motive force is multiplied by the radius of tyre 'r' the necessary torque Tm, is achieved.
We may express torque as follows using Newton's second rule of motion for a rotating system: Where J is moment of inertia.Angular speed and acceleration are represented by respectively ω and α.We also need to take into account the torque needed to spin drivetrain's spinning components, in addition to, the driving torque needed to propel the vehicles.J axle is drive-axle linked to moment of inertia is used to illustrate below mentioned equation.The combination of the driving torque and the torque needed for acceleration the J axle is whole torque required at the driving axle T axle. in which α ୟ୶୪ୣ represents the angular acceleration.
since v = r ω the axle torque can be represented as Or Usually, the manufacturer specifies the maximum torque and power of the traction motor or engine.The drive-axle torque is geared directly to the traction torque.In the majority of cases, the manufacturer specifies the powertrain gearing ratio ng

ROAD LOAD COEFFICIENTS FOR VEHICLES FROM EPA COAST-DOWN TESTING
Motor vehicles producer carry out thorough tests for the various regulatory agencies.EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the U.S.A Require producers to provide information on vehicle's road-load coefficients on behalf of "coast-down" test in addition to fuel efficiency and emissions data.Three coefficients are created in this test to replicate the rolling, spinning, and aerodynamic resistances (Mentioned above) when the vehicle coasts down from a neutral velocity of 120 km/h.As a function of speed, the vehicle road-load force ‫ܨ‬ ௩ is defined as follows [14].
Energy consumption is calculated as:

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BATTERY OPERATED ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Once the load power is determined, it is possible to estimate the range of an electric car.The estimate of range is a complicated process that depends on a variety of variables.However, an easy calculation by few basic assumptions may be produced.Here some of the vehicle's specifications are described in table 1 and Figure 6 From show the performance of battery operated EVs.

x Electric drives are 85% efficient for both generating and motoring [14].The amount of time (Hour) which EV powertrain can draw constantly from the battery under the circumstance that the power draw is constant is provided by: At the constant speed of v, the vehicles can cover a distance of s in this time: Table 1 Various Vehicle's Specification Fig. 6 Different Vehicles Performance Graph

Coefficient B, which is related to spinning or rotational losses, is frequently quite low.It is more accurate to use the coast-down coefficients than it is to just use data for rolling resistance and drag forces for estimating vehicle road load.
