This learning track covers a comprehensive understanding of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), their types, benefits, challenges, and the technologies used in them. It starts with the history of EVs, their types, and the potential of harnessing solar energy, waste heat energy, and vibration energy in EVs. The track further explores the concept of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technologies, explaining how V2G technology allows for the interchange of energy between the battery and the grid. The learning track then delves into the multidisciplinary engineering domains required for these systems, including electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering. It explains the components of a typical EV and HEV system, their different modes of operation, and the decision-making process for system voltage in these configurations. The track concludes with the intricate dynamics of electric vehicles, focusing on the concept of tractive effort, the effects of different forces on vehicle velocity and power variation, and the implications of operating an electric vehicle on different terrains.
