Study on Tractive System and Power Conveyance of EV Go-Kart

Abstract

Abstract: This paper gives an overview on a cognizant strategy while selecting the major components of tractive system and power conveyance of Ev go-kart. This study was compiled according to the rules specified in the 2023-2024 GKDC. Go-Kart is a racing vehicle having very low ground clearance and can be worked on only flat racing circuits. The vehicle is iterative and is based on various engineering and reverse engineering processes depending upon the availability, cost and other such factors. All the parameters like Reliability, safety, Cost, Performance, aesthetics, ergonomics, Standard dimensions & material were also taken into consideration at the same time. We have also taken into account the battery management system, motors and other electrical management systems along with a brief description about their working and specifications. Through detailed analysis of the tractive system components such as motors, controllers, batteries, and drivetrain configurations, this research seeks to identify key parameters influencing the overall performance and acceleration characteristics of electric gokarts. Furthermore, the project evaluates the impact of various factors including motor selection, battery technology, and drivetrain layouts on the overall efficiency and dynamic response of electric go-karts. The findings of this study contribute valuable insights for enhancing the design and performance of electric go-karts, thus advancing the development of sustainable and high-performance recreational and competitive electric go-karts
