Description: A comprehensive guide to electric vehicle design, operation, and adoption. This hands-on resource thoroughly explains the technologies and techniques involved in the design and operation of today’s electric vehicles. Originally written for use in a course co-taught by the authors at Stanford University, it covers the physics of vehicle motion; electrical principles on which motors rely; chemistry, operation, and charging of lithium-ion batteries; design and operation of motor controllers; energy efficiency and environmental impact of electric vehicles; and policy and economics affecting their adoption. After teaching you the theory, the authors will guide you through a hands-on project in which you will build a model electric car from the ground up with a hand-wound electric motor of your own design.
