“Electric Vehicle Sensors” starts with a discussion on how electric vehicles work differently from gasoline or diesel fuel powered vehicles and the major types of electric vehicles. It then moves to the unique components of full electric and hybrid electric vehicles, and how in-vehicle and external battery charging systems work. We reference all the sensors that are used for in-vehicle and outside unique components. Then we do a deep dive into how each of these sensors work.

    This course contains many errors in the fundamental equations for solving the equations and contains language not common with industry terminology. If you are a beginner just interested in the general industry that is fine, but be careful of traps in the equations.
