Electric Vehicle Technology Explained

Great to see the authors have used MATLAB to mathimatically model various simulations, however the battery modelling does not cover Lithium batteries (only lead acid and NiCd). This tells me that it has been a while since the authors really put some effort into providing a product that is valuable to the user community. I see this book as a half-hearted attempt to drum up sales. Get with the times. Do some value added work!In fact, the companion website, which is supposed to provide MATLAB examples, appears to be using 1st edition page numbering and is missing a lot of the models.If you are buying this book to help build mathimatical models to simulate your EV, don't waste your time with this lack-luster dust collector.

to much side tracking off the electrical car.

Don't waste time with this book 2.0. I also found truly dissapointing the 2nd edition has failing to add any value to the book. It has no treatment on regenerative braking which is one of the key functions in EVs and HEVs. The battery chapter has not been updated at all still paying attention to NiCd and NiMH batteries instead of Li-ion which are just mentioned. It would have been great to have a battery comparative treatment. The driving cycles are barely covered while it has become a big deal in evaluating new cars.5-6 years ago it was a good book, but now it's been born obsolete.

I bought it because I needed an ‘all in one book’ about the subjectIt’s not exactly the best book, nor the most technical, but it’s reasonably good as a comprehensive book about the topic.

A+

Un poco caro para lo que esAun así, es un libro completo y con una buena introducción a todos los aspectos de los EV

Still look through this book
