Electric vehicles (EV) has been introduced as an alternative to the conventional vehicle as a mid-range vehicle to the world due to environmental considerations and technology development. Many electric motors can be used as the main driver of electric vehicles. Induction Motor (IM) is one of these types. This search uses MatLab/Simulink program for modeling and simulating MITSUBISHI I-MIEV type vehicle as a model of city vehicle based on an IM as the main engine. Four cases were studied by simulating a complete (EV + IM) model with different slopes of road, wind speeds, different road types, and different speeds of vehicle. Simulation tests indicate the IM's ability to drive the electric vehicle in high stability. Thus the specifications of EV depend upon the specifications of IM used as the main drive for EV and mechanical components for EV.
