Design of Prototype Electric Car using 4 Motors as Future City Car in Indonesia

Abstract

The availability of non-renewable energy used by motorized vehicles will eventually run out. According to Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, crude oil reserves in Indonesia are declining. In 2030 or next 11-12 years, oil in Indonesia will be run out. In the other hand, fuel consumption increase significantly for 13.5 million barrels, from 374.7 million barrels to 388.2 million barrels. Electric vehicles for the future of alternative solutions are emerged by this situation. This study aims to design, fabricate and tested the electric car as the future city car in Indonesia. The test results of electric cars are as follows: 1) the average speed of 8 km mileage was 12.52 minutes; 2) the uptake is tested at a distance of 10 meters with a slope of 25◦ by 1387,266 watts; 3) the acceleration and deceleration of 100 meters followed by braking and the stop distance after braking was 5.3 takes 8.643 seconds; 4) The acceleration was 2.49 m/s2 and 50 total Energy consumption of Energy used in 8 km was 587,782 Wh.
