This course is full of best-in-class content by leading faculty and industry experts in the form of videos and projects

Course Overview

An electric vehicle is an electrical system made of many interconnected electrical components working together to drive it forward. Starting a career in the EV industry requires an established understanding of electrical systems, individual electrical components, and the many underlying concepts.

This course will provide the foundation needed for students from non-electrical and electrical backgrounds to kick start their career in the EV industry. It will also prepare students for advanced courses in related fields.

Each week is designed with challenges that require practical application of the concepts learned. At the end of the course, students will be required to complete a hands-on project that requires a practical understanding of an electrical system and its components.

Course Syllabus

On a daily basis we talk to companies in the likes of Tata Elxsi and Mahindra to fine tune our curriculum.

Week 1 - Basic Electrical Concepts and Terminologies

At the core of electrical circuits are voltage and current that relate to the flow of electricity through them. When combined, current and voltage provide power that energizes the circuit. It is important to understand these terminologies and associated concepts to fully understand electrical circuits and advanced systems.

In this week, you will learn about

Terminologies: Circuit, Open Circuit, Closed Circuit, Conductor, Insulator, Voltage, Current, Power, Energy
War of the Currents: AC vs DC
Power Factor, Load (Resistor, Inductor, Capacitor), Phase, Neutral, and Earth
Series and Parallel Connections

Week 2 - Electrical Systems and Power Electronics

Electric power grids provide the power needed to charge the battery pack in electric vehicles. Power electronics are needed to control and convert electrical energy from the source to meet the specifications of the power grid that powers electrical systems such as the electric vehicle. It is therefore important to understand how this energy is generated, transferred, distributed, and stored.

In this week, you will learn about

Power Grids: Generation, Transmission, and Distribution
Safety Equipment: CBs, Fuses, Relays
Role of Power Electronics
Vehicle: Storage, Loads, Battery Charging, Power Train

Week 3 - Electrical Power Train

Electrical power trains are a combination of components such as the battery pack, electric motor, and inverter. These parts work together to develop power required for propulsion of the EV. It is important to understand the components in the powertrain and their associated concepts.

In this week, you will learn about

Motors and their Types: DC Motor, Brushless DC Motor, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, Induction Motor
Losses and Efficiency at Different Load Conditions
Power Electronics based Control: Key Ideas

Week 4 - Battery System

Rechargeable batteries are used to power electric vehicles. As the battery systems have high voltage requirements and operate safely under specific conditions, a battery management system is in place to oversee and regulate its functions.

In this week, you will learn about

Basics of Batteries and the Types of Batteries used in Electric Vehicles
Battery-Related Terminologies: Level, Anode, and Cathode
Fundamentals of Fast Charging Techniques
Battery Management Systems and their Components: Cell, Pack, Fuse, Contactor, Microcontroller, and Sensor

Our courses have been designed by industry experts to help students achieve their dream careers

Industry Projects

Our projects are designed by experts in the industry to reflect industry standards. By working through our projects, Learners will gain a practical understanding of what they will take on at a larger-scale in the industry. In total, there are 1 Projects that are available in this program.

Analysis of a Practical Automotive Wiring Circuit

In this project, you will be required to do the following:

Identify each of the major elements in an automotive wiring diagram.
Explain the purpose and working of any three parts of a battery.
Determine the fuse rating if the total load is 10A from the battery.
Determine the voltage and capacity of a battery if there is a 500W load.
Identify any two elements that are connected parallel to each other, and explain why they are connected in parallel.
Identify any two elements that are connected in series with each other, and explain why they are connected in series.
