Electric mobility demands motors with high efficiency, robustness, and reliability. The Double Cage Induction Motor (DCIM) is a promising alternative due to its superior torque characteristics and adaptability to drive conditions. This paper presents the design methodology, analytical modeling, and Finite Element Method (FEM)-based simulation of a DCIM tailored for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion. Performance parameters such as torque, efficiency, and losses are analyzed under typical EV load conditions. The study demonstrates that DCIMs offer favorable characteristics for traction applications, with improved starting torque and thermal stability compared to conventional single-cage motors.

This study demonstrates the viability of Double Cage Induction Motors for electric vehicle applications through comprehensive design and simulation. The DCIM exhibits superior starting torque, high efficiency, and reliable thermal performance, making it a strong candidate for EV propulsion systems. Future work includes building a physical prototype and conducting experimental testing under real-world driving conditions to validate the simulation results and refine the motor design further. This paper presents the design, modeling, and simulation of a Double Cage Induction Motor for e-mobility applications. The proposed design demonstrates high starting torque, excellent thermal behavior, and robust performance across EV operating conditions. Future work will focus on prototype development and experimental validation under chassis dynamometer conditions.
