Fully updated throughout, Electric Vehicle Technology, SecondEdition , is a complete guide to the principles, design andapplications of electric vehicle technology. Including all thelatest advances, it presents clear and comprehensive coverage ofthe major aspects of electric vehicle development and offers anengineering-based evaluation of electric motor scooters, cars,buses and trains. This new edition includes: important new chapters on types of electric vehicles, includingpickup and linear motors, overall efficiencies and energyconsumption, and power generation, particularly for zero carbonemissions expanded chapters updating the latest types of EV, types ofbatteries, battery technology and other rechargeable devices, fuelcells, hydrogen supply, controllers, EV modeling, ancillary systemdesign, and EV and the environment brand new practical examples and case studies illustrating howelectric vehicles can be used to substantially reduce carbonemissions and cut down reliance on fossil fuels futuristic concept models, electric and high-speed trains anddevelopments in magnetic levitation and linear motors an examination of EV efficiencies, energy consumption andsustainable power generation. MATLAB(R) examples can be found on the companion website www.wiley.com/go/electricvehicle2e Explaining the underpinning science and technology, this book isessential for practicing electrical, automotive, power, control andinstrumentation engineers working in EV research and development.It is also a valuable reference for academics and students inautomotive, mechanical, power and electrical engineering.
