Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) rely on complex electrical circuits for energy management, propulsion, power electronics, and battery management systems. Understanding the design, simulation, and optimization of these circuits is critical for efficiency, reliability, and safety. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of electrical circuits in EV systems, including battery packs, inverters, DC-DC converters, motor drives, and auxiliary systems. Challenges in circuit design, fault management, and efficiency optimization are discussed. Indian research contributions from smaller institutions are highlighted. Tables and 2D figures illustrate EV circuit architecture, power flow, and system components.
Keywords: Electric vehicles, Electrical circuits, Battery management system, Inverter, Motor drive, DC-DC converters, Power electronics
