Abstract :
This paper proposes driving range extension by series chopper power train for Electric Vehicles (EV for abbreviation). The proposed method was experimentally verified and compared with the previous publication [1]. Further measurement on motor test bench, to compare this drive with the conventional power train, showed a 2.1 % improvement.
