Abstract—Here sizing and designing of propulsion system of an electric vehicle has been done by first studying the vehicle dynamics and rated values of power, torque and speed is calculated from the Torque-Speed and Power-Speed profile of traction motor. This is followed by detail design parameters computation and adjusting the equivalent circuit parameters to increase the range of constant power region to attain higher drive efficiency. Once the motor is designed, its performance is evaluated using matlab simulink and modeling with different types of traction motor.
