Design of Powertrain of Electric Vehicle with Requirement of Performance Indexes

Abstract:

Based on the vehicle dynamic model and it’s parameters, the drive train arrangement is chosen composed of power batteries, an electric motor and transmission, and the components’ performance parameters are determined according to the design requirement of performance indexes. The model of the electric vehicle is built, and the simulation and analysis of vehicle performance indexes, such as the ability to accelerate, top speed, climbing performance and the driving range, are conducted. The simulation results show that the performance index of the electric vehicle can fully meet the design requirement.
