Abstract :
This paper establishes a specification and compares the relative merits of switched reluctance and permanent magnet motors for electric vehicle drives. It is shown that permanent magnet machines offer size advantages, but that the high costs of magnets relative to steel and copper gives much greater material costs for the permanent magnet machine
