Fundamentals of Electric Vehicles

This course covers the fundamentals of electric vehicles and renewable energy, vehicle performance, energy sources in vehicles, and vehicle auxiliary and charging. For instance, it delves into the technical aspects of torque, power, speed, and energy, and how these factors influence a vehicle's movement. It also explains the role of gears in multiplying torque and reducing speed, and the difference between normal and peak values for torque, speed, and power. The course further discusses the impact of road conditions, traffic, and vehicle speed on power consumption. It introduces the concept of rolling resistance and aerodynamic resistance, and how these resistances can be overcome by applying torque or force. The course concludes by highlighting the environmental benefits of electric vehicles and the future trends in vehicle energy storage.
