Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles - Comprehensive Review based on Various Performance Parameters

The main focus areas in the field of EVs has always been in regards to designing higher energy density motors (with minimum usage of PM material by improving performance parameters). In this paper, different types of electric motors are reviewed and associated to verify the benefits of each motor to find most suitability in the EV application. Comparison of different electric motors used in EVs are carried out based on various performance parameters. In this paper, authors provide comparative analysis of PM motors and Non-PM motors with advantages and disadvantages. Each motor has its own limitations and based on that the best motor candidate would be select by designer base on requirement and operating condition. FE analysis of PMBLDC motor is represented. Selection criteria and performance of the different materials used for PM motors is also discussed.
