Abstract
The air pollution from petrol engine based cars that produced carbon dioxide has led the international environment
agencies, car manufacturers etc. to explore opportunities in developing an environmental friendly car such as the
electric vehicle. However, the drawback of such a product is the storage energy requirements and limited speed.
Therefore, many initiatives by the car manufacturers were started to counter those limitations which focused on
improving the car components to improve the car performance. In addition and with the advent and evolution in the
electronic industry, especially in microprocessors, which enabled the production of economically (low) energy
consumption, high performance, and the main energy loss in electric vehicles. There are two types of motor
categories, DC and AC. However, the most commonly used motor type commercially for electric vehicles is the AC
motor which due to the low power consumption. The aim of this paper is to explain the key components required and
their combination interworking relationship to build an three phase inverter for electric vehicle with emphasis on the
best choice of speed technique in terms of energy. The work comprised of design and build of three phase inverter for
Electrical Vehicle (EV. The key design of the three phase inverter is the control with selection of the best technique for
the speed control. The result was reported to find the optimum speed and maximum period of driving time.
