Course Introduction
Rationale
In order to address the future energy requirements and to reduce emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants Electric vehicles (EV) is on the path to resolve the issues to a considerable extent. EV are becoming an increasingly viable alternative to the existing conventional vehicles taking into consideration fuel prices and pollution. However, there are many challenges in EV deployment, e.g., higher prices, lack of technicians and engineers, lack of charging infrastructures, lack of appropriate EV safety readiness in fire department, etc. Similarly, Battery storage technology is also crucial part of EV and even for other devices. After first use, second use of battery is an emerging issue which could be used for Microgrid or renewable energy integration.
