Electric karting was modelled for efficiency and energy consumption study. The model includes models of battery, power electronics converter, electric motor, and vehicle dynamic of a typical 48 seconds track driving schedule in Europe competition. The regenerative braking energy was also considered in simulation. The comparison of different type of electric motors - direct current (DC) motor, induction motor, permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), brushless direct current motor (BLDC), and  switched reluctance motor (SRM) - and batteries - Lead Acid, Lithium Metal Polymer (LMP), Nickel Metal Hybride (NiMH) - also were investigated. Finally, the efficiency was compared between the different type of electric motor and battery. The result shown that the SRM and LMP Battery has a high efficiency and performance compare to the others.
