Target audiences
- B. Tech 4th year / M. Tech / MS / PhD
- Working professionals in EE, ECE, Mech, Engineering Design.
- Aerospace Engineering students interested in Electric Vehicles
- Everyone who are interested in Electric Vehicles
This course provides a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of Electric Vehicles (EVs), especially in the context of India. As part of the course, students will be exposed to technology associated with each element of an EV drive-train; they will also study the economics of EVs in comparison with petrol-powered vehicles.
This NPTEL Online Certification course (NOC) of 48 Online Lectures/Modules on “Fundamentals of Electric vehicles: Technology & Economics” was prepared by the Professors at IIT Madras specifically targeting the Electrical Engineering Discipline and published on the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) website.
These Modules are divided as per a 7 weeks course, comprising lectures as follows:
