, DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR ELECTRIC
VEHICLES
• Need for Electric vehicle- Comparative study of diesel, petrol, hyb
and electric Vehicles. Advantages and Limitations of hybrid
electric Vehicles. - Design requirement for electric vehicles- Ran
maximum velocity, acceleration, power requirement, mass of
vehicle. Various Resistance- Transmission efficiency- Electric veh
chassis and Body Design, Electric Vehicle Recharging and Refuel
Systems.

, ENERGY SOURCES
• Battery Parameters- - Different types of batteries – Lead Acid- Nick
Metal Hydride - Lithium ion- Sodium based- Metal Air. Battery
Modelling - Equivalent circuits, Battery charging- Quick Charging
devices. Fuel Cell- Fuel cell Characteristics- Fuel cell types-Half
reactions of fuel cell. Ultra capacitors. Battery Management System

, MOTORS AND DRIVES
• Types of Motors- DC motors- AC motors, PMSM motors, BLDC mot
Switched reluctance motors working principle, construction and
characteristics.
