This paper analyzes the impact of model simplification on optimal control for electric and conventional engine-powered vehicles. An optimal control problem is formulated to minimize energy/fuel consumption subject to control input constraints and solved analytically using the Pontryagin's Minimum Principle. We found that simplified solutions without nonlinear aerodynamic drag are sub-optimal, and their loss of optimality increases with average travel speed. The energy/fuel savings of each control approach are evaluated using the intelligent driver model to capture driving behavior of a driver. Simulation case studies are presented for illustration.
