In this paper rotational space vector hysteresis control implementations are evaluated for the usage in electric vehicles with either an induction machine or a permanent magnet synchronous motor.The powertrain layout is introduced and the control concept is explained in depth. For both motor configurations, simulation results are presented in comparison. Both motors can be used in combination with the selected control method. In general, the rotational space vector hysteresis controller allows a reduction of power losses by a reduction of switching processes.
