About this course
A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This course introduces learners to the fundamentals of electric vehicle (EV) technology, covering motors, batteries, powertrains, and charging systems. Students will gain practical knowledge of EV components, architecture, and key functions, while understanding differences between internal combustion engines and electric motors. Next, learners explore lithium-ion battery technology, battery management systems, sizing, thermal management, and mechanical protection. Charging systems, AC/DC methods, onboard chargers, and vehicle-to-charger communication protocols are examined in depth. The course concludes with testing, certification, EMC evaluation, and practical powertrain sizing exercises. This course is ideal for automotive enthusiasts, engineers, and students looking to build foundational EV expertise. No prior experience in EVs is required, making it suitable for beginners. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify and analyze EV components, understand motor and battery technologies, design efficient charging solutions, and perform basic powertrain sizing calculations for real-world applications.
