CONSUMER SURVEYS, POLICY of GOVERNMENTS, and ACTUAL FIGURES on ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Electric Vehicles Technology- Consumer Surveys by Deloitte Critical survey conducted by Delloitte among 13.000 people in 17 countries on 5 continents from November 2010 to May 2011 reveals consumer expectations. Countries surveyed include Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, the UK and the US.* Significant gap exists between consumer expectations and current electric vehicle technology. Consumers felt that EVs should be able to go farther,on less charge time, for a cheaper price than automakers are currently able to offer. * Expected recharge time in two hours or less Despite the willingness to consider an EV, many seem not willing to compromise in key criteria such as range. Technology improvements in gasoline and diesel engines, as well as start-stop idle technologies and reductions in vehicle weight, are pushing fuel efficiency very close to the 50 miles per gallon (mpg) mark. In case of 50 mpg fuel efficiency, consumers in China (57 %) and US (68%) are less likely consider EVs. * *www.deloitte.com
Electric Vehicles Technology- Policy of Governments With more research and incentives we can break our depencence on oil with biofuels, and become the first country to have a million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. -President Barack Obama, 2011 State of the Union * **** Chancellor Angela Merkel reaffirmed her target to bring one million electric cars on to German roads By the end of the decade despite evidence of dwindling consumer interest. ** ***** Swedish Governments Vision: Oil-free society by the year 2020 *** Road transport, including transport in the agricultural, forestry, fisheries and building sectors, should reduce use of petrol and diesel by 40-50 percent by 2020. * US Department of Energy-February 2011 Status Report ** www.reuters.com *** www.government.se ** ** www.hyer.eu ***** www.bbc.com

Electrical Machines for Electric Vehicles Global facts: China holds % 87.5 of rare earth elemenst. Government of China cuts production of magnets for environmental reasons and meantime magnet prices are increasing dramatically. Although widespread use of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine for Hybrid Electric Vehicles, magnet supply and cost problems led to search of alternative electrical machines. US funds R&D projects for electric motors without rare earth elements. * * electronics360.globalspec.com OTA M AU TO M OT I V E T E C H N O LO G I E S R & D C E N T E R

Electrical Machines for Electric Vehicles Design Requirements and Critical Parameters for Electric Vehicles Insulation class H Water cooling is required both for electrical machine and inverter. Because the drive cycles, including the increase in ambient temperature, imposes thermal stress on EM and inverter as well. Short term overload capability. The range of peak torque to maximum continuous torque should be 1.5 to 2. Maximum speed to nominal speed ratio, e.g. wide field weakening range. Ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 is common in practice. Design voltage considering the battery minimum and maximum voltage range Maximum continuous torque and peak torque for grade and acceleration requirement Maximum speed considering the gearbox ratio Efficiency map. This is related to power demand for cooling of electrical machine, drive system and the battery for estimated drive cycles, heating of the battery for minus temperatures as well.
