This study has efficient thermal management of electric vehicle (EV) motors is essential for ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and service life. This study models and simulates an EV motor cooling system using MATLAB Simscape, incorporating critical components such as the motor, cooling channels, pump, radiator, and thermal sensors. The model captures the heat generation and dissipation dynamics within the motor under realistic operating conditions. Both passive and active cooling strategies are analyzed across varying load and ambient conditions to evaluate thermal response and efficiency. Leveraging Simscape's multi-domain capabilities, the study integrates thermal, fluid, and mechanical subsystems to enable system-level analysis. Simulation results highlight the influence of flow rate, coolant properties, and ambient temperature on motor temperature regulation. The developed model provides a robust platform for optimizing EV motor cooling designs, minimizing thermal stress, and enhancing overall energy efficiency.
