element in terms of absorbing impacts and carrying loads. This study mainly analyzes the electric vehicle chassis frame made of different materials and calculates the strength, deformation and weight of the frame under different operating conditions. To achieve this, the frame chassis was designed by fusion 360 and tested on Ansys software to obtain the predicted results. For maximum accuracy, different components are given to the chassis frame to measure the deformation and impact on the safety and durability of the product. The results are easily explained and a few screenshots are added for better understanding of the tests.

1.1 E -Rickshaw Since 2008, electric rickshaws have become popular in some cities as an alternative to auto rickshaws and rickshaws. The reasons for this preference are their lower cost and ease of use compared to rickshaws. They are widely accepted as an alternative to petrol/diesel/CNG auto rickshaws. They are threewheelers that use electricity between 650 and 1400 watts. They are manufactured only in India and China. Battery-powered rickshaws can become a low-cost transportation option for the poorest of the poor, the low-income people, if transportation facilities are systematically demonstrated.

Key Words: E rickshaw chassis frame, fusion 360, Ansys software.

1.INTRODUCTION The search for sustainable, safe, clean and environmentally friendly fuels never ends. Carbon-based fuels such as fossil fuels are not sustainable and are harmful to our environment. Some other energy sources are renewable energy sources, which include all types of petroleum and non-fossil fuels such as solar, wind, tides, hydroelectric and biomass. Among these elements, solar energy is preferred because it provides the cleanest energy for the longest period (up to thousands of years). Photovoltaic electricity production doubles every two years and has been increasing by an average of 48% annually since 2002. Photovoltaic systems have become the world’s largest source of energy due to their environmental, economic, and social benefits. The only limitation to solar energy as an undisputed source of energy is our understanding of how to develop effective and efficient technologies that make it possible. Nothing in this world is free, but what if we could find a way to ride for free? In fact, it would be great if our cars could move without spending billions of dollars every year buying fossil fuels and dealing with natural disasters that cause leaves to fall. If we could drive a car that runs on solar energy, it would be the car of our dreams. A solar car will use solar energy from a solar panel. A solar panel is a component of a solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell, and is an electrical device that can convert solar energy directly into electricity through quantum mechanical transitions. They are silent, do not pollute the environment, do not rotate, and require very little maintenance. The electricity generated will damage the batteries that power the car's engine. As a result, we will have an electric car that can run on "free" energy, does not produce harmful
