In an electric vehicle, the wheels are one of the heaviest components of the vehicle. This paper aims to reduce the mass of the existing wheels for reduction in energy consumption as well as increasing the precision in steering. In this paper, an electric sedan is taken as the reference for studying the wheel and the boundary conditions are decided according to its specifications. Reduction in mass is achieved by designing a composite wheel for the boundary conditions. A reduction of 58% is achieved on the total mass of wheel.

The authors provide a copious literate review on powertrain design optimization for electric vehicle (EV) powertrains. The review shows a gap in the state of science regarding the consideration of all customer relevant requirements. Existing approaches either focus on performance and energy consumption or concentrate on vehicle dynamics. Based on this insight, the authors analyze customer requirements and derive all vehicle properties that are influenced by the powertrain concept. They find that costs, longitudinal performance, lateral dynamics, off-road capabilities and energy consumption are key vehicle properties. The powertrain concept affects all these properties and thus determines the satisfaction of customer requirements. Subsequently the authors describe a vehicle simulation model that represents all predefined customer requirements in dependence on the powertrain concept design.
