“…The IM is more common to use for the traction drive and is the best candidate for EVs because of its strength, lower cost and low maintenance need [13][14][15][16], but its' losses are significantly higher in the EV application [17,18] and this leads to a drop in the machine efficiency. The most restrictive barriers to accepting such vehicles in the transport system are low energy density, heavier weight, longer charging times and longer battery life [19].…”

“…The synchronous motors and induction motors (IMs) are the main types of machines that can be utilised in EVs [9]. The EV‐drive motor should feature the following propulsion [7, 10–12]: (i) high torque density to give enough driving force during startup, climbing and acceleration; (ii) high efficiency to increase driving distance; (iii) good flow regulating ability to extend the static power speed range. The IM is more common to use for the traction drive and is the best candidate for EVs because of its strength, lower cost and low maintenance need [13–16], but its’ losses are significantly higher in the EV application [17, 18] and this leads to a drop in the machine efficiency.

In electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid EVs, energy efficiency is essential where the energy storage is limited. Adding to its high stability and low cost, the induction motor efficiency improves with loss minimisation. Also, it can consume more power than the actual need to perform its working when it is operating in less than full load condition. This study proposes a control strategy based on the fuzzy logic control (FLC) for EV applications. FLC controller can improve the starting current amplitude and saves more power. Through the MATLAB/SIMULINK software package, the performance of this control was verified through simulation. As compared with the conventional proportional integral derivative controller, the simulation schemes show good, high-performance results in time-domain response and rapid rejection of system-affected disturbance. Therefore, the core losses of the induction motor are greatly reduced, and in this way improves the efficiency of the driving system. Finally, the suggested control system is validated by the experimental results obtained in the authors' laboratory, which are in good agreement with the simulation results.
