Electric Vehicle Powertrains

Electric Vehicle Powertrains: Design Fundamentals, Components, and Applications, 1st Edition, provides a structured theoretical and practical foundation for electric vehicle propulsion systems. Edited by B. Ashok and V. Indragandhi, this volume offers systematic analysis for senior undergraduate students, postgraduate scholars, engineering researchers, and academic faculty in automotive engineering.

The technical content synthesizes fundamental design principles across AC and DC motor configurations, power drives, electric motor control systems, and transmission designs. Beyond core hardware assemblies, coverage addresses electric powertrain regulatory frameworks, energy-efficient motor designs, thermal management systems, battery management systems, and life cycle assessment procedures for battery recycling.

A defining technical feature includes dedicated material on model-based development and digital twin technology applications for electric vehicle powertrains. This practical framing helps advanced students and academic researchers analyze component interactions across electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and sustainable transportation systems engineering curricula.
