This course was setup to give someone like me with no prior knowledge of electric vehicles the ability to pursue a career in the field of electric vehicles. Very easy to understand, some of the math was a little challenging, but with some practice and repetition it will become easier.

C’était un cours intéressant. Mais un seul problème, c’est qu’il y avait plus de séances théoriques que de séances pratique. Les séances pratiques pouvaient avoir plus d’affinités.
By Kishore Chittilla on 8/13/2023
Excellant fully covered with theory and actual commercially available By cycle specifications and calculations.
By Sonam Tobgay on 8/1/2023
it was a wonderful journey while taking up this course, i have learn so many things in this course, especially how to select the battery, controller, color coding etc and also the importance of calculate the rating base on the design to over come the conventional vehicles to go with green Technology. i am hopping to spare my time to study further on electric vehicle

There are many courses I took on Udemy, most of them good but very few are really GREAT. This course is one of the GREAT courses I have taken. Very informative and educational with the right timing and applicability, very timely.
By Vivek Nair on 8/24/2020
Course starts with very fundamentals of electrical and moves to its application in field of locomotion. This course is good to start with before you take a deep dive into more advanced concepts.
By Saswat Kumar Sahu on 4/25/2020
Yes, it was a good match to what I was looking for. The concepts were quite clearly explained and I feel it is good for the starters as well as for people with some experience in the industry.
By Sanket Gurunand Howal on 4/21/2020
Good content no doubt about that, learned and clarified many things on electric vehicles which were easy and confusing. Only problem is the video download speed,pls do something with your server bcoz I am not able to load the content and there are more buffers in the videos than actual play time.
