Electric Vehicles In A Nutshell focuses on various systems of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles. Through this book, you will learn about different powertrain configurations of electric and hybrid vehicles with the explanation of powertrains of EVs and HVs currently running on the road.
This book also covers the workings of the traction motors, types of motors used in electric vehicles, the motor control unit, and electric storage devices like batteries, fuel cells and supercapacitors, with Battery Management System.
Simultaneously, you will also learn the procedure to calculate the power required from a motor for a particular vehicle. Based on these calculations, you will be able to select the appropriate motor for your electric vehicle and calculate the number of cells required in the battery pack to power that motor.
Purvang Mantri
Purvang Mantri was born in January 1998. After completing
his schooling, he pursued Diploma in Automobile
Engineering in the year 2013 and Bachelor’s in Automobile
Engineering in 2016. During his bachelor’s, Purvang
participated in Baja, organized by SAE India and Mahindra
and Mahindra. In that event, he worked on the suspension
system of their Baja buggy. He even led a team, representing
his institute in the event of Virtual Baja once. The same year
he was offered the position of Chairperson of the SAEPU,

institute where he was once a student. While working as a
faculty, Purvang used to teach subjects like Vehicle
Dynamics, Automotive Certification and Homologation and
Basics of Automobile Engineering to the students of
Automobile and Mechanical Engineering. Apart from
teaching, he also mentored students who participated in
competitions like SAE India’s Efficycle and ISIE’s Indian
Karting Race.
In 2020, Purvang started pursuing Post Graduate Diploma in
Electric Mobility from the College of Engineering Pune in
collaboration with the Automotive Research Association of
India (ARAI). While pursuing his post-graduate diploma, he
worked as a student intern for Altair India, where he worked
on a thermal cooling system for a two-wheeler battery pack
using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Simultaneously,
he made videos related to automobile engineering and
motorcycle reviews for his YouTube channel.
The motive of the YouTube channel was to spread the
knowledge of automobile engineering to everyone, who is
keen to learn. He tried to make the concept of vehicles easy
to digest. With his channel, Purvang is answering the queries
of the students who are either pursuing automobile
engineering or wants to pursue automobile engineering. He
has made videos related to some basic topics as well as
advanced and future-oriented technologies of automobile
engineering, which will be seen in upcoming vehicles. Today,
his channel has over 4000 subscribers and it is still climbing.
