- © 2022 IEEE.This paper documents the methodology of the sizing of the battery pack and the electric motor of an electric vehicle. The methodology uses the dimensions, weights, driving cycle and other requirements. A step-by-step case study focused on an Electric Urban Bus shows the appliance of this methodology and it opens the discussion of the aspects that needs to be addressed for a first selection on commercial equipment. The results show a work-in-progress simulation process for the selection of commercial equipment and discusses the feasibility of using commercial equipment. Finally, the chosen equipment is compared with those used in current versions of electric commercial buses.
