DC motor drives were widely used for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion. Various DC motor drives were applied to different EVs because of their merits such as technological maturity and control simplicity. This chapter describes various DC motor drives, including their system configurations, DC machines, DC‐DC converters, and control strategies. It discusses the corresponding design criteria, design example, and application examples for EV propulsion. For the series DC motor drive, the regenerative braking can be performed based on the same principle as that for the separately excited DC motor drive, but the field needs to be reversed with respect to the armature as compared with the connection for motoring. Almost all types of DC motor drives, namely based on the separately excited DC, series DC, shunt DC, and PM DC machines, have ever been applied to EVs.
