Electric Vehicle Design

This project focuses on the design and development of an electric vehicle (EV) aimed at urban transportation. The main objective is to create a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution that meets the needs of daily commuters while minimizing environmental impact.

Key Objectives #

  • Design an aerodynamic body to reduce drag and enhance energy efficiency.
  • Utilize lightweight materials to reduce the vehicle’s overall weight.
  • Implement a regenerative braking system for extended battery life.

Technologies Used #

  • SolidWorks for 3D modeling
  • MATLAB for vehicle dynamics simulation
  • Lithium-ion battery technology

Achievements #

  • Reduced drag coefficient by 15% through advanced aerodynamic modeling.
  • Achieved a projected range of 250 km on a single charge with our design.
