The article discusses how to choose the right size of electric motor and battery pack for an electric vehicle that will be used to collect recyclable material on a specific route at a university in Brazil. The researchers first figure out how much power and torque the motor needs based on the load and slope of the route. Then, they analyze the length and conditions of the route to determine how far the vehicle needs to travel on a single charge. This helps them decide on the size of the battery pack needed for the vehicle.
