electric powertrain

Motor-driven vehicle system

An electric powertrain is the system that generates and delivers power to move an electric vehicle.

It typically includes the battery pack, electric motor, and power electronics that convert stored energy into motion.

Unlike internal combustion powertrains with engines and transmissions, electric powertrains have fewer moving parts: The electric powertrain gives instant torque off the line.
