5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect title for this book., September 10, 2008

This review is from: Electric Vehicle Technology Explained (Hardcover)
Very good book. It took me from knowing a couple of things about EV to understandingg all aspects of EV design.
It touches on all aspects of the design, efficiencies and considerations for designing an EV, with enough technical coverage to point you in the right direction once you have decided on the technical path you would like to take.
I recommend this book for anyone wanting to understand EV technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars To the point and informative beyond words, May 15, 2006
This review is from: Electric Vehicle Technology Explained (Hardcover)
This book is a fantastic resource for anyone even remotely interested in any aspect of electric/hybrid vehicle technology and design. It even provides Matlab code for performance modeling of vehicles incorporating a variety of fuel sources. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

By 
This review is from: Electric Vehicle Technology Explained (Hardcover)
AC motor under computer contol is efficient enough to work when electric storage becomes cost effective. DC motors do not have the efficiency or enable the needed level of computer control. The Tessla is an example of AC control. Good book at affordable price.
