This final work talks about different types of control of rotation speed for electric machines, as well as about types of electric and hybrid vehicles, and choosing the best type of electric machines for specific vehicles and ideal speed regulations for those same vehicles. We start with an introduction on different types of electric machines and electric vehicles. The difference between synchronous, asynchronous and DC machines is shown, hybrid vehicles are explained, as well as different types of hybrid vehicles we can see on the roads. The history of electric vehicles is introduced and the current picture of electrification of mobility is presented, as well as energy storage systems produced for powering these types of vehicles. Furthermore, we are introduced to the types of speed control commonly used on electric vehicles, as well as their disadvantages. We find out what reversing is, multi-speed motors, resistivity change control, voltage change, and finally what is scalar control. Here are reasons why some types of motor control are inefficient, why some motors start to heat up, and how this problem is solved. After considering the advantages and disadvantages, we conclude that for vehicles powered by electricity, vector and scalar control are ideal solutions for speed control, depending on the type of electric motor we use. In the case of electric vehicles, the most advantageous is vector control and the reasons for its usage are highlighted in the paper. The paper concludes with a few examples of electric vehicles, their types of propulsion machinery, and their types of speed rotation controls.
