The goal of DOE's Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Program is to advance technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles in order to enhance their potential as transportation options of national significance. Successful achievement of this goal will ultimately result in significant petroleum savings to the nation. However, the design, performance, and cost of propulsion components must be improved before commercially attractive electric vehicles can be built. This paper describes improved and advanced component technology developed under the NASA-managed propulsion portion of the DOE program. This includes electronically commutated permanent magnet motors of both drum and disk configurations, an unconventional brush-commutated motor, ac induction motors, various controllers, transmission and complete systems. One or more of these new approaches to electric vehicle propulsion may eventually dispace presently used controllers and brush commutated dc motors.
