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. 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. An electric motor converts electric energy into mechanical energy while an electric generator converts mechanical kinetic energy into electrical energy. Although the motor mounts had been constructed and had achieved a huge success there is much room for improvement of the motor mounts design for the performance electric car project.

Electric vehicles are using electric machines for propulsion and energy recuperation. As we are moving towards complete electrification from combustion engine to electric motor the system design approach also changes due to application. The complete electric car is aimed to launch at the end of 2008. 1 also included with these in wheel motor systems are braking components and the motor drive electronics.

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. An electric machine can be of two types.
