Electric Vehicles (EV) and Renewable energy (RE) are the two important technologies which help the earth to heal itself in face of impending Global warming. India is accelerating use of EV and RE over the next decade. This four-part course, each for about four weeks, help one get a fairly strong grip on what the technology involves. It is fundamental and yet deep enough. The course designed for students with any engineering background, gives a good grasp at not only the technology but also the economics (in Indian context) for wide deployment of the technology. The course is taught by Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwala, IIT Madras along with his colleagues Prof. Kaushal Jha and Prof. Kannan on NPTEL Platform. The four modules of the course are as follows:
Part 1- Introduction to Electric Vehicles and Vehicle subsystem requirements,
Part 2 – Fundamentals of Battery Cells and Pack design
Part 3 – Electric Vehicles motors, controllers, and chargers
Part 4 – Renewable energy and storage.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
B. Tech 4th year / M. Tech / MS / PhD or working professionals in EE, ECE, Mech, Engineering Design, Aerospace Engineering students interested in Electric Vehicles
PREREQUISITES
Interest in electric Vehicles
INDUSTRIES SUPPORT
Large number of people in industry will be interested.

The future of sustenance of life on this planet earth is so unfortunately dependant on the humans that want to live here, conquer this planet & if possible other places in this universe. Sadly it is this very humans that are on the perilous course to destroy their first base, the earth, previously unknowingly & now knowingly due to their greed. It’s a wonderful idea from the IITM to bring in awareness & create a possibility for all those who care to understand learn & contribute to STOP this self destruction in one of the core areas where usage of fossil fuels could perhaps be completely replaced by renewable environment friendly technology to provide for sustainable motion through electric vehicles- This & few other initiatives could perhaps save this planet from the impending catostrophic self destruction. I wish the teachers & students all the best in this endeavour to save our planet

Best course for beginner, comprehensive enough to understand overall EV technology & requirements. Will suggest if someone need to begin from zero knowledge about EV.
