10. Driver: Assumes pedal to the metal

11. Controller: Simulates the electric system

12. Controller II: Equation 1: V = I R + K e ω –V–V: Voltage –I–I: Target Current ≈ 2000 amps –R–R: Motor Resistance ≈ 0.02 Ohms –K–K e : Motor Constant ≈ 0.25 –ω–ω: Motor’s Angular Velocity This voltage is capped at 196V Equation 2: I = (V – K e ω) / R This current is divided and fed to each motor

13. Controller III: Back EMF

14. Motor: Equation for torque:

15. Coupling System: Connects the two motors together

16. Transmission: Multiplies the torque and divides the RPM by the gear ratio

17. Car Dynamics: Turns the applied torque into an acceleration and velocity

18. Car Dynamics II: Equations for Car Dynamics: –Force Equation: –Power Equation:

19. Ideal Simulation Results: Force Equation: 0-60 Time: 2.318s
