The California Air Resources Board has mandated that by 1998 2% of new vehicles sold in California must be zero emission, effectively, electric vehicles. This requirement is largely responsible for the electric vehicle development programs run by almost every global automobile manufacturer that does business in the United States. At present, no single electric vehicle technology, from battery type, to propulsion system, to vehicle design, represents a standard for a protoelectric vehicle industry. In this paper competing electric vehicle technologies are reviewed, leading public and private electric vehicle research programs worldwide are summarized, and the barriers faced by competing technological systems in terms of manufacturing and infrastructural requirements are examined.

The selection of motor is one of the significant factors in Electric Vehicle design. When the motor is selected based on the conventional method, its performance during starting of the EV is met but it may fail in other operating regions of the driving cycle. This is because, acceleration requirements assume zero initial speed conditions and the requirements with different initial speeds is not accounted in the conventional method. This paper discusses an alternative procedure to compute the ratings of induction motor. The preliminary method to compute the ratings is carried out based on vehicle performance requirements. The improvisation techniques in the computation are then adopted to get required acceleration and transient torque capabilities of motor to meet the driving cycle requirements. The procedure is illustrated through simulation studies using MAT lab software.
