One of the simplest ways to rapidly obtain the main characteristics of an EV (Electric Vehicle) powertrain is by calculating the requested values from resistant forces acting on the vehicle. A powertrain covering the operation area of the vehicle can give satisfaction. The autonomy is sustained by the on-board energy source (battery) and the maximum speed and acceleration performances come from the possibility of establishing and maintaining a maximum current through the battery, power electronics, and electric motor. In this context, the present paper is focused on a possible methodology achieved using a computer-aided conception. After determining the characteristics of each powertrain component using calculation and simulation, the behavior of the EV is analyzed under a complete simulation of the powertrain.
