Total force
The total force is the summation of all the forces affecting the motor.
TTE = RR + Fd + FA (7)
TTE = Total tractive effort
148.2 + 17.77 + 66.708 = 232.678 N
Power
P = FT v (8)
η
P = engine power (W)
FT = total forces acting on the car
v = velocity of the car (m/s)
η = overall efficiency in the transmission, normally ranging 0.85 (low gear) - 0.9 (direct
drive)
At speed 40 kh
232.678 x 11.11 / 0.75 = 3446.76 W
The selected motor is Golden Motor with 48 V and 5000 W.
