Electric Vehicle Development Guidance

I’m taking an electric-vehicle concept from a rough idea to a build-ready plan and need a seasoned EV engineer or consultant who can walk me through the critical decisions. From high-level vehicle architecture to the nuts and bolts of battery pack sizing, motor selection, charging strategy, and thermal management, I want clear, data-driven recommendations that balance cost, range, and manufacturability. Drive-cycle simulations (MATLAB/Simulink, AVL Cruise, or an equivalent tool), preliminary CAD packaging, and an outline of the relevant compliance standards (UN-ECE R100, FMVSS, IEC 62133, etc.) should all feed into the work. Deliverables • A concise technical report (PDF) detailing calculations, trade-off analyses, and final component recommendations. • Native files for all simulations and CAD layouts created. • A short investor-ready slide deck summarizing the concept, performance projections, and development roadmap. I’ll be available for quick feedback loops and can supply any background data you need. When you respond, please highlight past EV or hybrid programs you’ve supported, the tools you prefer, and how soon you can deliver the first milestone.
