Training Course in Electric Vehicles

This course offers a training course in Electric Vehicles. This course is provided by a team of internationally experienced energy engineers and will provide participants with up-to-date knowledge on how to assess the benefits of EV adoption and understand the EV and charging market. The course enables participants to achieve success locally and internationally in the electric vehicle industry. Electric Vehicles course will also provide students with elements of engineering, sociology, environmental science, political science, economics and business administration to assess, analyze and implement the diffusion of electric vehicles in relation to their use.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Who should attend? 

•  Those who have both a basic and advanced understanding of the industry.

• Mechanical and electrical engineers, designers, project managers, and others working on or transitioning to hybrid vehicle development. -For electric powertrains.

How attendees will benefit? 

After completion of the course, delegates will understand:

• Define and analyze the basic electrochemistry of battery operation and performance requirements for HEV, PHEV, EREV and fully electric vehicle applications.
• Estimate cell size to meet specific requirements.
• Create a cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-use list of materials used in each type of automotive battery.
