A system design to use many electric vehicles in a midium sized city was made. The basic design of electric vehicles(EVs) to be used in the area was made also. The way of incentives and infrastructure is proposed.
A computer simulation program was produced to calculate the performance of an electric vehicle precisely. Range per charge, maximum velocity, acceleration and energy consumption rate can be calculated by the program. The calculated value of the performance by the program is coincided with the actual performance of the prototype passenger car within the error of 5%. A new drive system and a new frame structure were proposed. If these technologies are used, the space of a cabin and a luggage space can be increased in an EV. By using these technologies fundamental designs of EV were made by considering economies. In a taxi, as two rooms can be made within the same sized conventional taxi, the income of one taxi driver could be increased. In a light truck as the height of the floor of the luggage space can be constructed much lower than a conventional light truck, it become very easy to load and unload luggages and it is possible to enlarge the size of the luggage space. It helps to make the efficiency of transportation higher. To spread these electric vehicle, it is convenient to be used for taxi then transportation field.
