Table of contents:
Introduction to Electric Vehicles. Vehicle Mechanics. Energy Source: Battery. Alternative Energy Sources. DC And AC Electric Machines. PM And SR Machines. Power Electronics and Motor Drives. AC And SR Motor Drives. Electric Vehicle Drivetrain. Hybrid Electric Vehicles.
With the fast increasing interest of governments and the automotive industry in next-generation vehicles, present and future engineers need to understand the technical details of electric and hybrid automobiles and their components. This book offers the first comprehensive treatment of the technical details of these vehicles. Starting with the historic background of electric cars, it describes the physics governing vehicle motion, the mathematical relationships within and between components, the energy sources, and the overall design of these vehicles. Suitable both as a reference and a textbook, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles includes numerous examples and exercises in each chapter.
