Electric Vehicle Motor Mount Design

New in wheel motor systems modify the hub of each electric vehicle ev wheel by adding a complete drivetrain that supplies torque to its associated tire fig.

Electric vehicle motor mount design. Presented at the 2011 melbourne motor show introduction good evening all in this session i m going to present some of the issues in drive design in the field of electric vehicle. An electric machine can be of two types. An electric motor converts electric energy into mechanical energy while an electric generator converts mechanical kinetic energy into electrical energy. The company also offers electric motor conversion kits for older rear engined cars such as the porsche 911 and 914 volkswagen beetle and karmann ghia and the mid engined toyota mr2.

The core element of the ev apart from electric vehicle batteries which replaces the internal combustion engines is an electric motor the rapid development in the field of power electronics and control techniques. Compared to an internal combustion engine an electric motor has several advantages. As we are moving towards complete electrification from combustion engine to electric motor the system design approach also changes due to application. Electric vehicles are using electric machines for propulsion and energy recuperation.

Electric vehicles are not something new to this world but with the technological advancement and increased concern on controlling pollution has given it a tag of future mobility. For a range of 100 150 kg ev powertrain weight number of mounts as well as mount locations orientations and stiffnesses plays a significant role d.
