MODELING AND CONFIGURATIONS OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The vehicle modelling and configurations of an EV power-train is analyzed here. Electric Vehicle means, the propulsion power is solely produced by electrical means. Electric Vehicle are enjoying more widespread customer acceptance as personal vehicle because of their performance and economy in running cost. All electric vehicles use a battery pack to store electrical energy that powers the motor. Electric Vehicles are also known as battery electric vehicle. The charging of the battery of an EV can be done by plugging it. Since there is no tail pipe emission, EV's are considered as the zero emissions vehicles. The modeling of a vehicle and various configurations of EV based on the power train and power source is presented here.
