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 vehicle. I am sure this course will stay forever in your hearts!
