Different sources of energy are available for giving power to drive the vehicle. Sunlight being an efficient and abundant resource, the world is moving towards solar energy leaving behind conventional power resources. Moreover, battery based electric vehicles have short driving range and speed which is not acceptable in the dog-eat-dog market. This paper discusses a simple approach for BLDC motor driven electric vehicle powered by buck-boost converter. The primary energy source is solar energy, and the PI controller holds the DC-DC converter's output constant. A 660 W, 48 V BLDC motor driven electric bike system is worth an alternative when it is solar powered which solves utmost all the problems faced in usage of EVs. The circuit is simulated in MATLAB environment and output parameters are observed for different load conditions. Overall, the motive is to prove that electric vehicles are more efficient and cost effective than the conventional ones.
