Build a foundation in electric vehicles with hands-on learning and hardware kits. Learn from an experienced instructor with Tesla R&D background and clear explanations of what happens inside EVs.
Examine the electric vehicle powertrain from the charge port to the motor, identifying the onboard charger, DC charge switches or contractors, battery pack, VMS, DC motor controller, and motor.
Identify the onboard charger and inverter in a crossover SUV, trace high voltage DC lines to the battery, and show how the DC becomes three-phase AC for the motor.
Explore how a high-voltage battery powers a synchronous motor via a motor controller and inverter to drive the wheels, with a dc-dc converter supporting 12-volt loads and state-of-charge variation.
Identify subcomponents of electric vehicles by tracing power lines, from high voltage battery packs and battery management electronics to dc-dc converters and cooling systems, with emphasis on safety and layout.
Identify how coolant tubes connect high voltage subcomponents to radiators and explain how liquid, air, and passive cooling remove heat from electric vehicle powertrain components.
Explore how to build a career in the electric vehicle industry by upskilling in power electronics, embedded systems, connectivity, and battery management through hands-on projects.
In this course, you'll learn how to identify the sub-components of an Electric Vehicle powertrain using an actual example of a MG ZEV crossover SUV.
You can then take the skills learned in this course to be understand how to deconstruct an EV into its various subcomponents.
