This book covers the introduction, theory, development, and applications of hybrid and electric vehicles and their charging infrastructures. It also discusses the real applications of power converters and electric drives to give the readers a flavour of how to design propulsion drives and fast charging systems for electric vehicles. It further covers important topics such as static and dynamic wireless charging systems, battery management, and battery swapping systems for electric vehicles.

This book:

Presents comprehensively different types of electric vehicles and their powertrain architecture.
Highlights modern optimization techniques such as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, particle swarm optimization, and ant colony optimization.
Discusses different charging methods such as wired and wireless for a variety of batteries including lead acid, lithium-ion, and vanadium redox.
Covers grid-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-grid, and vehicle-to-vehicle bidirectional power flow analysis.
Showcases power 2X technologies such as power-to-ammonia, power-to-chemicals, power-to-fuel, power-to-gas, and power-to-hydrogen.

The text is primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, and communications engineering.
