Abstract: Abstract To develop electric vehicle is an approach to increasing the competition of electric vehicles industry, safeguarding energy security and boosting low carbon economy. It is well known that batteries can cause environment problem. Several problems must be solved before electric vehicle technology is applied in large scale. One of the problems is how many batteries should be equipped to meet the demand of certain electric vehicles. In this paper, we have built a batteries consumption model of electric vehicles based on agent. Simulation result shows that the optimum ratio of electric vehicles and lead-acid batteries is 1:2.93 and the optimum ratio of electric vehicles and lithium batteries is 1:1.36 as well. If electric vehicles are equipped with lithium batteries instead of lead-acid batteries, 53.4 % of batteries will be reduced.
