their pros and cons, and found their application according to
the load requirement. DC machines were incorporated in the
1980’s decade due to its torque to load characteristics and
controllability. In spite of such fine traits, DC machine are
no longer being preferred due its size and maintenance
requirement. Now a day, latest vehicles manufacturers are
employing AC and brushless motors, including Induction
Motors, Switched Reluctance Motor and Permanent Magnet
Motors. This chapter aims to render a brief overview of
electrical machines.

In this section we can see, SOCs left after each standard driving cycle and custom cycle. Each graph contains three different
