Description
Hello learners!
Welcome to the course "Build an Electric Vehicle: A Beginner's Course". Just like any other electric vehicle course, you will
learn
all the
basics of electric vehicle technology.
But in addition to learning these basics, you will also apply them to building an electric vehicle. So this course will provide a unique experience by combining
theoretical
knowledge with
hands-on learning
.
For hands-on learning, we will
develop
an
electric two-wheeler
named
Dhruva.
Dhruva will be capable of carrying
two passengers
at a
top speed of 80 km/hr.
The hands-on approaches that you learn here for building this electric two-wheeler can be extended and applied to a passenger car with small modifications. So this course might be a
good starting point for your knowledge of electric vehicles.
I am sure this course will stay
forever in your hearts!
This course includes
Framework for choosing the motor capacity and type based on customer requirements
The working of a BLDC motor and the need for a Motor Controller Unit (MCU)
Explaining the motor specification sheet
Explaining battery parameters with relevant examples
Reasons why lead-acid batteries are no longer used in electric vehicles
Learning the two most popular lithium-ion battery chemistries and choosing an appropriate battery chemistry based on specific user requirements
Learning the cell arrangement in batteries based on the voltage and charge capacity required
Explaining the charging process of an electric vehicle
Explaining the different charging options available for electric vehicles
Sizing an appropriate home charger
Explaining the different types of transmissions and sizing an appropriate transmission for an electric vehicle
Reasons why a simpler transmission system is sufficient in an electric vehicle
Reasons why electric vehicles catch fire
Learning how international safety regulations and testing procedures ensure the safety of electric vehicles
Hoping to see you all in the course!
