Abstract
This paper focuses on better understanding the Indian Electric Vehicle (EV) market scenario
based on battery and motor specifications. Electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and fourwheelers
have different challenges and requirements at the efficient design level. This paper also
provides a comprehensive review of brushed DC motors, brushless DC (BLDC) motors, permanent
magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), induction motors (IM), switched reluctance motors (SRM),
and flux switching motors (FSM) for EV application.
Background: The market for EVs is growing rapidly in India as a developing country, and users are
looking forward to highly efficient and cost-effective EVs due to the pollution and unavailability of
petroleum.
Objective: The main objective of this paper is to provide the right choice of EV motor based on vehicle
type, driving cycle, and user requirement.
Method: This paper comprehensively reviews DC and AC motor drive systems for EV application.
Conclusion: Nowadays, manufacturing is mainly inclined towards the BLDC, PMSM, and IM. In
contrast, SRM and FSM are in the early stage of development and are mainly used by the researcher.
A brushed DC motor is not too famous due to its high running cost, frequent maintenance requirements,
and comparatively bulky size.
Keywords:
Electric vehicle (EV), Indian market, motor drive, doubly fed induction motor (DFIM), four-wheel drive, battery specification, motor specification.
