3.0 out of 5 stars
Useful reference, helpful diagrams and illustrations,

This review is from: Hybrid, Electric and Fuel-Cell Vehicles (Paperback)
This was required text for a hybrid/fuel cell class I recently took at a local community college's alternative fuel technology program. For the most part it clearly explained the systems, components, hardware and software that are integrated in hybrid/electric and fuel cell vehicles. The only drawback to this book is that the technology is advancing very rapidly so this book is obsolete in some chapters, I suspect that future editions will be significantly updated. It does cover the basics very well and provides a strong starting point for students interested in alternative fuel technology.

Very Useful for a Beginner,
This review is from: Hybrid, Electric and Fuel-Cell Vehicles (Paperback)
I am impressed with this book. It walks you through the basics of the technology and market.
I felt a little like being at school when doing the tests at the end of each chapter.....but it does make you re-read the part you didnt really understand.
