Introduction
● An Electric Vehicle consists of a battery that provides energy , an

electric motor that drives the wheel and a controller that control
the speed of the motor.
● Electric Vehicles were almost maintenance free ; they never
require oil changes , new spark plugs, or any other regular repairs.
● Electric Vehicles produce no emissions of any kind to harm the air
or the environment, they also help reducing the carbon footprint.
● Electric Vehicles have been around since the mid 1800s.
● Electric Vehicles even came before the internal combustion
engines.
Aim and Objectives
Aim
• To save our overpolluted environment which is filled with
carbon emissions and poisonous gases.
Objectives
• To study and implement how electric vehicle works in real life.
• To reduce carbon emissions from internal combustion engines.
• To study and implement the advance battery technology in EV cars.
• To study and implement the mechanical design of a car such as
suspension system, steering system, brake system, etc.
• To construct the skeleton frame of the two-seater car.
Methodology
● 3 Phase AC Induction Motor is used to move the car.

● VFD is used for controlling 3 phase AC Induction Motor.
● Use a microcontroller.
● Use NiMH ( Nickel-metal hydride) battery pack.

System Flow Chart The car will start, the magnetic
contactor switched on and the main
voltage is supplied to the VFD
The speed of the car is controlled by

adjusting the frequency of the VFD.

System Operation
● 24V battery is used to power the microcontroller. A microcontroller is used to turn on the
magnetic contactor by checking two logic states.
● Magnetic Contactor separates the voltage from battery to the VFD ( Variable Frequency
Drive).
● The speed of the AC motor is controlled by VFD.
● The frequency from the drive is controlled by using a potentiometer which is connected to
the throttle of the car.
● 3 phase AC induction motor is attached to the axle of the rear axis of the wheel.
● The brake system and the steering system are all hydraulics systems.
Hardware Requirements
● Battery Pack
● 3 Phase AC Induction Motor
● Motor Controller (VFD)
● A Microcontroller
● A Magnetic Contactor
Software Requirements
● Arduino IDE
● C++
● Collecting the material ( Main body
frame ,Motor, VFD ,etc.)
Current Work ● Preparing the battery pack
● Designing the overall circuit diagram
● Preparing the blueprint of the visual

design
● Starting a construction work
(Equipment installation, body frame
installation, etc.)
● Designing the circuit system ( Analyze

Future Work the circuit path between battery and
the motor.)
● Preparing the control System
