A comparison between the most widely employed propulsion systems for electric vehicles is presented. Two multicriteria evaluation methods, the Electre method and the Utility Value Analysis, have been applied. Both methods provide similar results. The Electre method shows that the most competitive electric motors for car propulsion are the induction motors and the permanent magnet synchronous motor in conventional position (not inside the wheel). Besides, the Pb-Acid battery is better than Ni-Cd battery. The Utility Value Analysis shows that nowadays the best propulsion system for electric vehicles is composed by an induction motor and Pb-Acid battery. The sensitivity analysis confirms this result and points out that its competitiveness of the permanent magnet synchronous motor will probably rise when its technological status will be completely mature.
