Abstract

To maintain environmental equilibrium, a “green revolution” is required, as modern society relies excessively on fossil fuels to fund its indulgences. The pursuit of sustainable energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions from internal combustion engines has motivated scientists and engineers to investigate and create unique driving systems. Vehicle emissions have decreased significantly because of the introduction of hybrid automobiles. Electric vehicles (EVs) rely on various types of motors to convert electrical energy into mechanical power, each with distinct characteristics suited to different applications. This review explores the main motor types used in EVs, including permanent magnet synchronous motors, induction motors, switched reluctance motors, and brushless DC motors. This is insufficient, though. The implementation of entire EVs is crucial as they are completely clean. Consequently, the internal combustion engine seen in ordinary cars and autos is replaced with an electric motor in these vehicles. Therefore, experts in the industry are concerned about the requirement for greatly enhanced motors that can function at their best. This study reviews various electric motors based on their affordability, efficiency, robustness, and ease of design. In conclusion, research has shown that brushless DC motors are the most effective and well-suited option for propulsion drive in both hybrid electric and electric cars. Its control, though, is inadequate. It also presents a theoretical approach to enhance its control.

Keywords: Electric motors, electric vehicle, automobile, brushless DC (BLDC) motor, induction motor (IM), switched reluctance motor (SRM)
