Project Summary

The effects of global warming due to the increase in conventional IC engine vehicles have greatly impacted the climate on a global level that has led to a variety of policy changes in vehicles around the world. This led to an increase in energy efficient techniques in vehicles on how to minimize the environmental impacts made by the orthodox vehicles. This project revolves around the similar methods used worldwide for a clean source of energy and minimal effects on the environment. The project commences with reviewing different past literatures on electric vehicles, batteries, grids, recycling batteries, comparison of various automobiles with electric vehicles, motor comparisons. After a comprehensive literature review, a market survey was done in different areas of Karachi, mainly Shershah where a thorough search was done for the availability of materials and a proper cost analysis was carried out to ensure minimum risk to the project budget. After a successful market survey, the 3D design of the vehicle was modeled on PTC Creo CAD software based on the availability of the materials in the market and cost analysis. The design was then fabricated accordingly. In the stage of fabrication, the vehicles’ structure was built on stainless steel which is quite sturdy and lightweight compared to basic iron. Fiber sheets were used for the vehicle body. All the materials went through various manufacturing processes like welding, cutting, grinding, drilling, facing, turning on machines like lathe, cutter, grinder, drill machines. Some parts were altered according to the needs of the designed model and fixes were made according to budget. After completion of the fabricated vehicle, it was tested on practical grounds to affirm its efficiency and ruggedness in a proper way. The performance result findings showed that vehicle can run up to 30 – 35 kms in a full charge on a busy road and 35 – 40 kms on a clear road with a top speed of 35 kmh-1. The top speed of the vehicle on an incline road is 20 – 25 kmh-1. The positioning of the foot pressed on the accelerator plays a huge role in drawing out current from the battery to power the motor for about 6.96 ampere. The time range required to fully charge the battery from fatigued state is about 2 hours maximum as tested with an adapter of 2 ampere. Less than a unit, i.e., 0.22 units of electrical energy is consumed to fully charge the drained battery for renewed use.

Project Objectives

• To Model and design an Electric Vehicle.
• To fabricate an electric Vehicle according to design specifications
• To test the fabricated model.
• To fabricate an electric vehicle according to the design specification.

Project Implementation Method

The project commences with reviewing different past literatures on electric vehicles, batteries, grids, recycling batteries, comparison of various automobiles with electric vehicles, motor comparisons. After a comprehensive literature review, a market survey was done in different areas of Karachi, mainly Shershah where a thorough search was done for the availability of materials and a proper cost analysis was carried out to ensure minimum risk to the project budget. After a successful market survey, the 3D design of the vehicle was modeled on PTC Creo CAD software based on the availability of the materials in the market and cost analysis. The design was then fabricated accordingly. In the stage of fabrication, the vehicles’ structure was built on stainless steel which is quite sturdy and lightweight compared to basic iron. Fiber sheets were used for the vehicle body. All the materials went through various manufacturing processes like welding, cutting, grinding, drilling, facing, turning on machines like lathe, cutter, grinder, drill machines. After all these stuff we purchased the lithium ion battery and brushless dc motor which is best for the electric vehicle. Some parts were altered according to the needs of the designed model and fixes were made according to budget. After completion of the fabricated vehicle, it was tested on practical grounds to affirm its efficiency and ruggedness in a proper way.

Benefits of the Project

The depletion of fossil fuels around the globe is posing an energy crisis around the world and its grave effects on our climate are also a threat that calls for a decline in fossil fuel usage and the use of green energy for a better world. As we know the source of energy for the Internal Combustion Engine is going day by day and in the end these sources like petrol, diesel, and gasoline will gone forever one day so the electric vehicle can be replaced by the ICE vehicles also the electric vehicle is safe for the environment becaue its does not create any exhaust gases, it reduces the noise pollution, it has the lower running cost, there is no any heavier noise pollution, and there is very less issue in maintnance.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

By making an electric vehicle the performance result findings showed that vehicle can run up to 30 – 35 kms in a full charge on a busy road and 35 – 40 kms on a clear road with a top speed of 35 kmh-1. The top speed of the vehicle on an incline road is 20 – 25 kmh-1. The positioning of the foot pressed on the accelerator plays a huge role in drawing out current from the battery to power the motor for about 6.96 ampere. The time range required to fully charge the battery from fatigued state is about 2 hours maximum as tested with an adapter of 2 ampere. Less than a unit, i.e., 0.22 units of electrical energy is consumed to fully charge the drained battery for renewed use.
