Abstract

The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, is driven by policy incentives such as road tax exemptions and relaxed traffic restrictions. This study investigates the feasibility and performance impact of integrating a stock automatic transmission into a converted internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, replacing the commonly used single gear or manual transmissions in typical EV conversions. Using GT-Suite simulation software, a detailed model of a converted Toyota Avanza was developed to evaluate key performance metrics including acceleration, top speed, driving range, and energy consumption. Simulation results indicate that integrating an automatic transmission improves acceleration performance, reducing the 0–100 km/h time by 0.7 seconds compared to a single-gear configuration. Although the top speed is mechanically limited by the transmission's maximum input speed, the vehicle achieved a marginally higher top speed (191.3 km/h) and reached it 1.8 seconds faster. During range simulations under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and constant highway driving at 100 km/h, the automatic transmission variant demonstrated a longer driving range—up to 7% farther—while also improving energy consumption from 8.55 km/kWh to 8.77 km/kWh.

Abstract

This study examines the thermal behaviour of a LiFePO₄ battery pack in a converted electric vehicle using GT-Suite simulation. The base vehicle, a Toyota Avanza originally powered by a 1.3-litre engine, was retrofitted with a 60 kW synchronous AC motor and a 268.8 V, 40.32 kWh battery pack. Simulations were conducted under NEDC and WLTP driving cycles, both with and without passive cooling. Results showed that battery temperature peaked at 45.3°C (NEDC) and 71.6°C (WLTP) without cooling, and was reduced to 36.6°C and 48.0°C respectively with passive cooling. Temperature spikes coincided with rapid acceleration and high-speed phases, highlighting the influence of discharge current on battery heating. These findings demonstrate the importance of thermal management in EV conversions and the effectiveness of passive cooling. Future work will focus on experimental validation and discharge current control via a battery management system (BMS) to ensure battery safety and longevity.
