Nowadays, hybrid electric vehicle has become an alternative vehicle to internal-combustion-engine vehicle because of its advantage of being able to produce much less exhaust gas, while still having a better cruising range than pure electric vehicle. Extended-range electric vehicle is one of many types of hybrid electric vehicle. Meanwhile, in the last 20 years, the trend of designing EREV or any other kinds of vehicle is to use a math-based assessments. Therefore, the product development process can be done in a shorter time. Using a software-based simulator is one form of a math-based assessment in a vehicle design process. The designed simulator uses driving cycle, route elevation, and other EREV data, which are inputted by simulator user, to produce battery state of charge data as a function of time. Battery state of charge simulation is done by considering power transmission and power losses at each of EREV propulsion system components. The simulator is designed using MATLAB software. As a validation and analysis of the designed simulator, simulations are done using the designed simulator with driving cycle data obtained from standards and testing. In the end, the simulator can be designed successfully. Some of the advantages of the designed simulator are its simplicity for usage and further development of its own. The designed simulator has the potential to be developed further so the simulator can use a more accurate modeling and can be used in an integrated manner with manufactured EREVs to simulate EREV battery state of charge in real time.
