The study focused on the simulation of regenerative braking dynamics on electric vehicles corresponding to different operating modes characterized by the rush hour urban driving cycle (RHUDC), the standard urban driving cycle (SUDC), and the highway driving cycle (HDC). The simulation results showed that the state of charge (SOC) in the case of HDC achieved the highest increase of 2%, followed by the case of RHUDC (0.6%) and the case of SUDC (0.15%). The battery voltage in HDC reached the highest peak value of 364.8 V, followed by the case of RHUDC (361.7 V) and the case of SUDC (360.9 V). The results showed that when the vehicle operated under braking conditions at high speed corresponding to HDC or at a high and continuous braking frequency corresponding to RHUDC, the regenerative braking system's energy recovery capability would become higher because the braking kinetic energy generated is larger and converted into more electrical energy. This was consistent with the actual operation of the regenerative braking system.
