A Comprehensive Review of Indian Market Scenario and Motor used in Electric Vehicle

Abstract

Abstract: This paper focuses on better understanding the Indian Electric Vehicle (EV) market scenario based on battery and motor specifications. Electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and fourwheelers have different challenges and requirements at the efficient design level. This paper also provides a comprehensive review of brushed DC motors, brushless DC (BLDC) motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), induction motors (IM), switched reluctance motors (SRM), and flux switching motors (FSM) for EV application. Background: The market for EVs is growing rapidly in India as a developing country, and users are looking forward to highly efficient and cost-effective EVs due to the pollution and unavailability of petroleum. Objective: The main objective of this paper is to provide the right choice of EV motor based on vehicle type, driving cycle, and user requirement. Method: This paper comprehensively reviews DC and AC motor drive systems for EV application. Conclusion: Nowadays, manufacturing is mainly inclined towards the BLDC, PMSM, and IM. In contrast, SRM and FSM are in the early stage of development and are mainly used by the researcher. A brushed DC motor is not too famous due to its high running cost, frequent maintenance requirements, and comparatively bulky size.
