The advancement of electrical motors has been a cornerstone in the evolution of modern technology, powering a wide array of applications from industrial machinery to consumer electronics. As the demand for higher efficiency, precision, and compactness in electrical motors increases, so does the need for sophisticated tools to analyze and enhance their design and performance. In this context, three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology has emerged as a powerful tool for capturing intricate details of motor components, enabling a more comprehensive analysis of their structure and function. With regards to electric vehicles (EVs) 3D images can be used to increase the attention of the user and recognize motions. Electric motors, characterized with numerous advantages over internal combustion engines, are utilized in the drivetrain system of EVs. Induction motors (IM) have proven themselves as one of the most prevalent types of electric motors employed in electric drives throughout the years. In last decade, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) have risen as another type of electric motors with significant advantages, which makes it widely applied to propel EVs. A study on the electric vehicle’s application of IM and PMSM is presented in this paper. The study comprises of simulation models purposed to study and explore the operation of an EV’s drivetrain in driving mode as well as in regenerative braking mode. Furthermore, a comparison between both drivetrains is presented. Both IM as well as PMSM are sufficiently satisfying as drives of an EV as presented by obtained results.
