Cover Story: In response to the growing need for sustainable urban mobility, this paper explores the design details of electric powertrains for light electric vehicles (LEVs) tailored to the specific demands of city and suburban environments. Unlike traditional approaches that overlook driving missions, this study emphasizes the role of driving cycles from the outset in optimizing powertrains for multipurpose LEVs. The proposed modular and scalable electric powertrain is finely tuned for European urban settings, accommodating varying motor specifications and the energy capacity of the battery. With a focus on motor, battery, and charging requirements, this research contributes valuable insights for the efficient deployment of LEVs in the pursuit of sustainable urban transportation.
