    This paper proposes a strategy to minimize the losses of an induction motor propelling an electric vehicle (EV). The proposed control strategy, which is based on a direct flux and torque control scheme, utilizes the stator flux as a control variable, and the flux level is selected in accordance with the torque demand of the EV to achieve the efficiency-optimized drive performance. Moreover, among EV’s motor electric propulsion features, the energy efficiency is a basic characteristic that is influenced by vehicle dynamics and system architecture. For this reason, the EV dynamics are taken into account. Simulation tests have been carried out on a 1.1-kW EV induction motor drive to evaluate the consistency and the performance of the proposed control approach.
