The development of new concepts for electric vehicles is one of the most challenging tasks for future transport. The European project ELVA is currently developing Advanced Electric Vehicle Architectures. The goal is to exploit new freedoms in design and to realize effective lightweight measures. A prerequisite for a target-oriented concept development is a comprehensive understanding of technology options at the anticipated start of production (SOP). A forecast for all relevant technologies was developed by the project partners and summed up in this paper. Besides the full exploitation of technology options, a convincing design is crucial for the success of a vehicle model. Consequently, a design contest has been drawn by the project and is still under way at the publication of this paper. Designers are invited to share their ideas about future electric vehicle (EV) design and have the chance to see them incorporated in the ELVA concepts which will be developed from January 2012 and until the end of the project in May 2013. Three different vehicle concepts intend to best meet customer requirements while at the same time fully exploiting the technology options. As it is still very difficult to describe customer requirements for 2020 and beyond, the concepts may be addressing different user needs. The development process will be accompanied by a continuous assessment of the concepts in all relevant functions as well as resource demand.
