1.INTRODUCTION
In the globe, today's market, Electric Vehicles
(EV) are one of the trending research technologies.
Likely, tesla is the leading manufacturer of electric
automobiles. Tesla has sold 250,000 S model cars
globally since 2013. The UK (United Kingdom) is
the world leader in electric vehicles with
212,000, followed by France with 204,000. With
only six thousand electric vehicles registered,
India is substantially lagging. The number of
electric cars in the US (United States), EU
(European Union), and Australia have increased
significantly throughout the previous decade.
However, no similar adjustment has been
witnessed in the Indian EV market, given the
urgently needed requirement for pollution control.
Awareness of EV’s costs and advantages is one of
the key contributors to this impact.
It is a symbol of all-electric automobiles since
the emergence of Tesla motors. As a result,
consumers are less aware of alternative cars on the
market such, like Ford Focus, Nissan Leaf, and
Toyota Prius. As Tesla automobiles such as model S
and model X employ state-of-the-art technology has
been designed primarily for western market
applications, thepublic in India misconceives the
value and the range of electric automobiles.
The effect of parameters such as battery
voltage and energy capacity, motor power, and a
gear ratio of the transmission on vehicle
performance and energy consumption has been
examined [1]. In [2], the impact of various
gearboxes on energy usage has been studied.
The fixed gear system, manual gearbox, and
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gearbox
used in the powertrains explored. The author in [3]
has presented a design of a fully electric vehicle
that requires the development and optimization
of a complete electric powertrain, including
battery, power electronics. In [4], attempts have
been made to discover the best electric motor in
electric cars. Electric motors are evaluated based on
their efficiency, cost, safety, and weight. The
optimum motor type, according to the study, is
the permanent magnet synchronous motor.
In [5], the comparative study over Audi e-Tron and
Tesla Model S Induction Motors has been
presented. According to studies, the Tesla motor
may possess better efficiency within a smaller
volume than the Audi. Nelder–Mead-based
optimization method has been used in [6] to
analyse Tesla S Model and Mini Cooper SE
powertrain considering its performance indexes.
In [7], a detailed study on Nissan leaf EV has been
to be carried out, depending on generated
electricity and duty cycles; it can reduce CO2
emissions by 70% for a particular motorcycle.
In the literature, EV powertrains are generally
modelled by mechanical systems while electrical
systems are overlooked [8-10]. In this paper, an
extensive model of EV powertrain system (FORD
FOCUS and NISSAN LEAF) has been built,
considering mathematical model and
Matlab/Simulink to representing both mechanical
and electrical subsystems, respectively. This paper
induces a total of five sections; the details of the
powertrain dynamic and technical specifications are
given in section Ⅱ. The strategy behind the
simulation of EV models and their mathematical
blocks are explained in Ⅲ. The comparative study is
carried out from the estimated results in section Ⅳ
and concluded in section Ⅴ.

IV. RESULTS
The simulation is first performed for
Ford Focus EV drive scenarios. Later, the
parameters have been changed for the
Nissan Leaf, and the same drive scenarios
have been considered to compare the
results. Hence we obtained the SOC
versus time, speed versus time, motor
torque versus time, axle torque versus
time plots, and range of the vehicle. The
comparison is to be done between the
two different battery electric vehicles,
and the effects on the range of the BEV
vehicle will be compared. Different drive
scenario is considered for self-generated
signal, to test the working of the vehicle
and its various parts

The
disadvantage is that the speed regulation is poor
and the motor should be loaded before starting.
It has a periodic commutation. The lifetime is short.
The electric noise is high. The speed-torque
characteristic is moderately flat.
