Title: Preliminary power train design for a state-of-the-art electric vehicle. Volume 2 of 2 volumes

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6793764

As part of the national effort to stimulate the use of electrically powered vehicles for transportation, the design of urban passenger electric vehicles has been reviewed. The study considers automotive and electric vehicle technologies with specific emphasis on the power train. Its purpose is to objectively identify an ''optimum'' power train system which can be assembled with state-of-the-art components, to predict the performance of such a system, and to identify and evaluate improvements which might benefit vehicle performance.
