Ride comfort and handling in electric vehicles: The balancing act

Electric vehicles require a delicate balancing act by manufacturers: When engineers try to increase the ride comfort, ease of handling can be hurt and vice versa. Computer-aided simulation is used extensively in the automotive industry to help engineers find the right balance between comfort and handling but applying that requires training and extensive knowledge to get the best performance and results.
