Electrical motors form an integral part of any Electric Vehicle (EV). Most EV manufacturers currently prefer induction motors (IM) or permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) as propulsion motors because the former offers low cost, ruggedness, and less maintenance. The latter offers high power density with high efficiency to permanent magnets. Switched Reluctance Motor is also considered as an alternative for EV motors. Finite Element Analysis tools such as ANSYS Maxwell is used for in-depth analysis.
