Modern Electric, Hybrid Electric, and Fuel Cell Vehicles

The book deals with the fundamentals, theoretical bases, and design methodologies of conventional internal combusion engine (ICE) vehicles, electric vehicles (Evs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). The design methodology is described in mathematical terms, step-by-step, and the topics are approached from the overall drive train system, not just individual components. Furthermore, in explaining the design methodology of each drive train, design examples are presented with simulation results. All the chapters have been updated, and two new chapters on Mild Hybrids and Optimal Sizing and Dimensioning and Control are included.
