is generally recognized that there is a need for new methods of affordable, non-polluting, personal transportation. A literature review shows that cars are very efficient, well understood machines, but that electric versions have had little commercial success over the past century. By applying modern power semiconductor technology, a standard separately-excited DC motor is now to efficiently propel a car. The practicality of such a vehicle was demonstrated by entering an early version. Compared to the other electric vehicles in the event, this electric car consumed a similar amount of power per mile per unit weight, but used the least power per mile, due to its small size. A final prototype demonstrates the full implementation of both mechanical and electrical components. To better analyze the motor, a non-linear model is used. It is shown that maximum efficiency is achieved by maintaining a fixed ratio between the armature and field currents.
