Performance analysis of Continuously Varying Transmission system for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

Electric Vehicles have zero emissions and are hence green and environmentally friendly. A lot of research is being done considering such vehicles at the system level. One of the systems being worked on is CVT (Continuously Varying Transmission). In this paper, an attempt is made to incorporate a CVT system with an electric vehicle. This setup will allow the motor to operate in high-efficiency ranges and effectively bring down the power consumption of the entire system.
