        abstract = {The increasing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient transportation has accelerated research into advanced electric vehicle (EV) technologies. This paper presents the design, simulation, and validation of a bidirectional DC-DC converter integrated with a DC motor drive system for EV applications. The proposed architecture enables efficient power management by supporting both motoring and regenerative braking modes, facilitating two-way energy flow between the battery and traction motor. A Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is employed to ensure precise speed regulation, stable voltage and current control, and seamless mode transitions. Comprehensive modelling is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink to analyse system dynamics under varied operating scenarios, including acceleration, constant-speed cruising, and deceleration. Simulation results confirm that up to 25% of braking energy can be recuperated and stored, extending the vehicle’s range and improving battery utilization. A laboratory prototype further validates the simulation, demonstrating close alignment in current, voltage, and speed profiles. The study affirms the practical viability of bidirectional converter technology in next-generation EV powertrains, highlighting significant gains in energy efficiency, operational flexibility, and environmental sustainability.},
