  hi, I am a mechanical engineering final year student. I wish to do my project on hybrid vehicles, probably series type. I want to know the following
  
  1. Which type of battery is most economical to use?
  
  regular lead/acid cell 12v car batteries. however they are also the largest and heaviest
  
  2. Which motor DC series(brushed/brushless) or AC synchronous is
  feasible?
  
  I would suggest DC motor(s). 4 smaller hub mounted motors would be easier however a single traditional motor also works.
  
  3. I need to propel the vehicle to a maximum of 40km/hr so, what must be the power of the motor?
  
  what is the gvwr?
  
  I have a budget of maximum Rs 80,000/- can you please help me to find solutions. Forgive me if I have made any mistake
  😕

  hi
  Normaly batary are increase weigt of car. And according to me you can use it in car If you want to use it in bike then there is more dificulty in desigen for this battery
  My advice is keep your vehical Max. speed 30Km/h & use 4 speed gare or more it will increase your efficency

  Thank you very much this helps me a lot. But some doubt about the battery still. What about inverter batteries, some of my frinds advised me to use inverter batteries instead of automotive. Can you please site the differences between the two?😕

  Totally depend on your budget and application. Inverter batteries would cost more and improve charge cycle in a hybrid application using pto from the i.c. engine though not sure if the life cycle cost would be benefitial since the two types are very similar. Not manditory though, especially in a project application.

  invertor battery are better.coz they give more efficiency as they recharge

  Is that in the language of "cat-walked-over-keyboard"? 😀
  
  Im guessing you have problem with posting a link?

  Thanks a lot.😀 Please answer me another doubt. Variable resistance contol or the use of a pulse width modulation motor controller would be better..??😕

  PWM is much more better 😀 Variable resistance causes power loss, hence its not efficient for controlling motors.

  Can anybody answer me a general doubt?😕
  The DC drive looks simpler. But most of the present day hybrids and EV's adopt AC drive systems... why is that so??

  The DC drive looks to be simpler. Inspite of this most of the present day hybrids adopt AC drive systems why is that so..???

  Use Inventor Type Battery If Possible add a solar power too mate...
