Trends and Performance Measures of Electric Vehicles in Market

Abstract

The unfolding changeover from internal combustion engine to electric vehicle is emerging at a rapid phase due to various factors such as outpouring environmental pollution, clean and sustainable transportation, climatic changes and scarcity of fossil fuel. The competent motors which provide substantial output in terms power and energy are in need for electric vehicle (EV) to replace internal combustion engine (ICE). This paper delivers various types of EV’s and its drive unit type used to propel the vehicle and investigation of most widely used electric motor in context with its efficiency, power and cost. Also performance parameter of electric vehicle produced by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is compared.
