ELECTRIC VEHICLE DRIVE TRAIN
 The transmission elements and the propulsion unit combined are referred to as
the drivetrain of the vehicle.

 The transmission is the mechanical linkage that transmits power between the
electric motor shaft and the wheels.

 The drivetrain is also often referred to as the powertrain of the vehicle. The
drivetrain of an electric vehicle (EV) consists of the electric motor, gearbox,
driveshaft (only in rear- wheel drives), differential, half-shafts, and wheels.

 The ability of electric motors to start from zero speed and operate efficiently
over a wide speed range makes it possible to eliminate the clutch that is used
in internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV). The transmission of an hybrid
electric vehicle (HEV) is more complex than that of the EV because of the
coupling necessary between the electric motor and the internal combustion
(IC) engine. The HEV transmission will be discussed in the next chapter. 2
TOP-LEVEL PERSPECTIVE OF AN EV
SYSTEM

 EV features
1. The energy source is portable and chemical or
electromechanical in nature.
2. Traction effort is supplied only by an electric motor.

VEHICLE MECHANICS
 Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is
proportional to the net force exerted on it.
 The acceleration and speed of the vehicle depend on the torque
and power available from the traction unit and the existing road
 The electrical and mechanical engineers start designing the
electric motor for electric vehicles (EVs) or the combination of
electric motor and internal combustion (IC) engine for hybrid
electric vehicles (HEVs)
 The force from the propulsion unit, which can be an electric
motor or an IC engine or a combination of the two, is known as
tractive force.

VEHICLE MECHANICS

 The direction of motion and the distance traversed by the vehicle


are easier to express in terms of the tangent vector of the roadway
