    Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Technology Volume-I
    (MTIET, 2025-09-01) Dr.R.Saravanan, Professor, Director (Academics), Mother Theresa Institute of Egnineering and Technology; Dr.S.Sooriya Prabha, Associate Professor, Dean (Research & Development), Mother Theresa Institute of Egnineering and Technology
    The first unit lays the groundwork by discussing conventional vehicle performance, the history of electric mobility, and the social and environmental impacts of transitioning to electric drive systems. It also explores how modern drivetrain technologies influence global energy demands. Unit II delves into the classification and operational principles of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), from micro and mild hybrids to advanced plug-in hybrids and fuel cell electric vehicles. It discusses power flow architectures, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home technologies, and emerging solutions like solar-powered vehicles and electric bicycles. The third unit provides a deep dive into the electric propulsion systems that power these vehicles. Readers will gain insights into the configurations and control strategies of various electric motor drives, including DC, induction, permanent magnet, and switched reluctance motors, with a focus on drive system efficiency and performance optimization. This book serves as an essential guide for students of Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, and Automotive Engineering, as well as professionals seeking a structured understanding of the technologies shaping the future of green mobility.
