E-Mobility: Fundamentals and Practice (Anton Karle)

The electric car - the vehicle of the future!Everything you need to know about electric mobility in one book - technical fundamentals and the latest developments - presented in an engaging and clear manner: for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the promising technology of e-mobility.This textbook explains the physical and engineering principles of electric vehicles in comparison to vehicles with internal combustion engines. Calculation methods and simulations are developed to support key arguments. The influence of legal requirements and the interconnection with the energy transition are discussed. The objective overall analysis shows under which conditions electric vehicles make sense and what future developments - including the opportunities and risks - will look like.From the contents: Overview of electric vehicles, practical applications (cars, buses, commercial vehicles, bicycles, etc.), fundamentals of vehicle propulsion systems, components of the electrified powertrain, charging and the charging infrastructure, consumption and range, energy generation and storage, environmental impact and market comparisons, and mobility concepts.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Anton Karle war jahrelang als Entwicklungsingenieur in der Automobiltechnik tätig. Anschließend lehrte er an der Hochschule Furtwangen u. a. in den Fächern Technische Mechanik, Regelungstechnik und Projektmanagement.
