Electrical Vehicles Technology

Electrification is a paradigm change that is now taking place in the transportation sector, with the goal of producing cars that are more efficient, superior in performance, safer, more intelligent, and more dependable. As a matter of fact, there is a discernible movement toward the transition away from internal combustion engines (ICEs) and toward more integrated electric powertrains.

Beginning with an introduction to the automotive industry, an explanation of the need for electrification, and a treatment of the principles of conventional vehicles and internal combustion engines (ICEs), Advanced Electric Drive cars provides a comprehensive overview of this rapidly expanding field. After that, it goes on to discuss the primary elements that are included in electric vehicles, which include power electronic converters, electric machines, electric motor controllers, and energy storage systems.

More electric vehicles (MEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs), and all-electric cars (EVs) are included in this type of vehicle. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are also included in this category.

A textbook that is appropriate for senior-level undergraduate or graduate engineering courses, Advanced Electric Drive Vehicles is also a reference that is user-friendly for researchers, engineers, managers, and other professionals who are interested in the electrification of transportation.
