Overview
Since version 0.24.0 SUMO includes a model for electric vehicles. It was implemented by Tamas Kurczveil and Pablo Alvarez López from the TU-Braunschweig. The core of the model is implemented in the vehicle device device.battery. Additional features are a charging station (which can be placed on any lane in the network) and a new output option --battery-output <FILE>.

Defining Electric Vehicles
To define an electric vehicle, it must be equipped with a battery device. This may be done using the option --device.battery.explicit <vehID1,vehID2,...> or simply setting --device.battery.probability 1 to equip all vehicles. Alternatively, the device may be specified using Generic vehicle parameters.
Additional properties of the vehicle and its electrical components must then be defined via parameters of the vehicle or its type.
These values have the following meanings:
| key | Value Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MaxBatKap | float | ... | ... |
| ... | float | ... | ... |
Charging Stations
<chargingStation chargeDelay="2" chargeInTransit="0" chrgpower="200000" efficiency="0.95" endPos="25" id="cS_2to19_0a" lane="2to19_0" startPos="10"/>
battery-output
- --battery-output <FILE>: Save the battery values of each vehicle
- --battery-output.precision <FLOAT>: Write battery values with the given precision (default 2)
