Electric vehicle (EV) is a collective term for battery-powered EV, hybrid EV, plug-in hybrid EV and fuel-cell EV. At present, almost all automobile manufacturers and many electric power utilities have their individual EVs or development programs on EVs. Therefore, the demand for well-trained engineers serving this EV sector has already been significant. With the increasing acceptance of EVs n Macao, this demand will be greatly increased in the coming years. The purposes of the course are: 1. To provide students with up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge on various EV technologies 2. Provide the necessary skills for students to serve the accelerating EV industry and a good foundation for further research on these technologies 3. Understanding the concept of system considerations, system level design and optimization.
