Bringing together insights from technical and commercial perspectives, this book is collated and written by two experts - one a pioneer in the field of EV whose career spans decades of design and development, the other a highly experienced technical specialist in EV drive system and megawatt rapid charge system design.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">The first chapter addresses the fundamental principles and strategies of EV design and development. Additional chapters provide important historical context, covering the development of the first all-electric and hybrid vehicles, discussing their advantages, limitations, and how they paved the way for future progress in EV. This concludes with the invention of the lithium-ion battery; discussing the transformative impact of this breakthrough on EV research.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">The second part of the book addresses the current state of the EV industry and recent advances in research, with case studies on Tesla, Formula-E and the role of government policies in driving EV development in China. A chapter is devoted to rapid charge infrastructure, and the role of renewable energy is also discussed, including its inherent intermittency challenges and current and future energy storage solutions.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">The final chapters of the book look to the future of EV, covering the near- and long-term future of lithium-ion batteries, fuel cell technologies and the potential prospects of the hydrogen economy, as well as touching on more speculative possibilities such as fusion energy.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This book is a valuable and fascinating resource for anyone working on the development of EV technologies who wishes to gain insights into the underlying trends and drivers in this field.</p>Tue, 10 Dec 2024 15:12:01 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/electric-vehicle-technologies
