Abstract: The paper examines the launch and acceleration process of a rear-wheel drive electric vehicle. An accelerometer and a data acquisition device were used for the purpose of the study. A software program implemented by the authors of the paper makes it possible to study not only the acceleration of the car over time, but also the acceleration as a function of speed and the speed over the time. The paper provides an introduction and analysis of the vehicle launch and acceleration processes. Driving limits determining maximum vehicle acceleration, limited by adhesion between tires on the drive wheels and road are calculated. The used devices are described and compared with the traditionally used in similar studies. The theoretical foundations of signal processing for experimental purposes are given. The program for processing the received data is described. The results were processed and analyzed.
