Final Project: Design of an Electric Vehicle
Create a MATLAB model of electric car which uses a battery and a DC motor. Choose suitable blocks from Powertrain block set. Prepare a report about your model including following:
Electric cars function by plugging into a charge point and taking electricity from the grid. They store the electricity in rechargeable batteries that power an electric motor, which turns the wheels. Electric cars accelerate faster than vehicles with traditional fuel engines – so they feel lighter to drive.
You can charge an electric vehicle by plugging it into a public charging station or into a home charger. There are plenty of charging stations around the UK to stay fully charged while you're out and about. But to get the best deal for home charging, it's important to get the right EV electricity tariff, so you can spend less money charging and save more on your bill.
EVs have 90% fewer moving parts than an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) car. Here's a breakdown of the parts that keep an EV moving:
- Electric Engine/Motor - Provides power to rotate the wheels. It can be DC/AC type, however, AC motors are more common.
- Inverter - Converts the electric current in the form of Direct Current (DC) into Alternating Current (AC)
- Drivetrain - EVs have a single-speed transmission which sends power from the motor to the wheels.
- Batteries - Store the electricity required to run an EV. The higher the kW of the battery, the higher the range.
- Charging - Plug into an outlet or EV charging point to charge your battery.
You can charge an electric vehicle either by plugging it into a socket or by plugging into a charging unit. There are plenty of charging stations around the UK to stay fully charged while you're out and about. There are three types of chargers:

CONCLUSION:
FTP75 is used for vehicle parameters,,speed,current,output
where wot doesn't work work in this condition
to improve changing of mass,fontal area,voltage makes the efficiency more.
