James Larminie & John Lowry 
Electric Vehicle Technology Explained 

Fully updated throughout, Electric Vehicle Technology, Second
Edition, is a complete guide to the principles, design and
applications of electric vehicle technology. Including all the
latest advances, it presents clear and comprehensive coverage of
the major aspects of electric vehicle development and offers an
engineering-based evaluation of electric motor scooters, cars,
buses and trains.

This new edition includes:

* important new chapters on types of electric vehicles, including
pickup and linear motors, overall efficiencies and energy
consumption, and power generation, particularly for zero carbon
emissions

* expanded chapters updating the latest types of EV, types of
batteries, battery technology and other rechargeable devices, fuel
cells, hydrogen supply, controllers, EV modeling, ancillary system
design, and EV and the environment

* brand new practical examples and case studies illustrating how
electric vehicles can be used to substantially reduce carbon
emissions and cut down reliance on fossil fuels

* futuristic concept models, electric and high-speed trains and
developments in magnetic levitation and linear motors

* an examination of EV efficiencies, energy consumption and
sustainable power generation.
