Electric Vehicle Motor Mount Design

Although the motor mounts had been constructed and had achieved a huge success there is much room for improvement of the motor mounts design for the performance electric car project.

Electric vehicle motor mount design.

An electric motor converts electric energy into mechanical energy while an electric generator converts mechanical kinetic energy into electrical energy. New in wheel motor systems modify the hub of each electric vehicle ev wheel by adding a complete drivetrain that supplies torque to its associated tire fig. The core element of the ev apart from electric vehicle batteries which replaces the internal combustion engines is an electric motor the rapid development in the field of power electronics and control techniques. An electric machine can be of two types.

Electric vehicles are not something new to this world but with the technological advancement and increased concern on controlling pollution has given it a tag of future mobility. 1 also included with these in wheel motor systems are braking components and the motor drive electronics. Compared to an internal combustion engine an electric motor has several advantages. For a range of 100 150 kg ev powertrain weight number of mounts as well as mount locations orientations and stiffnesses plays a significant role d.

As we are moving towards complete electrification from combustion engine to electric motor the system design approach also changes due to application. Presented at the 2011 melbourne motor show introduction good evening all in this session i m going to present some of the issues in drive design in the field of electric vehicle.
