Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method to compare different energy consumption models and design a strategy to study the quantitative effects of wireless charging lane (WCL) on each electric vehicle’s (EV’s) link travel time. We utilize the modified energy consumption model and strategy to explore electric vehicle’s electricity consumption and link travel time in a two-lane system with a WCL. The numerical results show that EVs’ charging behavior on WCL will cause the drivers to execute the lane-changing maneuvers frequently and that the WCL has prominent impacts on EV’s energy consumption and travel time, i.e., the capacity drops by 8%–17% while the EV’s energy consumption increases by 3%–14% in the two-lane road system.
