Out of stock | | | Dr. Husain's book, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals, is a thorough and insightful introduction to the interdisciplinary topic of traction design for road vehicles. The necessary requirements of energy storage, conversion and processing are presented as the means to providing vehicular performance in a logical progression that students will find readily understandable and practicing engineers will appreciate as a useful reference source. Overall the practical importance of systems engineering and its control are made evident. Salient features are emphasized by worked examples with realistic parameters.
-Alan Wallace, Department of Electrical Engineering, Oregon State University
Dr. Husain's well-paced coverage and an easy-to-follow writing style are key to the students' understanding and success. My students will have no problem reading this material regardless of his/her Electrical or Mechanical Engineering background. Being a faculty member in a major university with a strong research EV and HEV program, I feel this book truly provides quite enough materials for my needs and will be a big hit with college students and faculty.

Through a balanced blend of traditional and relatively new topics, Iqbal Husain's Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals introduces students to the 'big picture' of EVs and HEVs. This book significantly exposes the students to nearly every aspect of electric and hybrid vehicles without overemphasizing only one topic. The basic aspects of electric and hybrid vehicles are discussed well - from overall concepts to more detailed design - and reinforced through good examples, illustrations, and exercise problems.

represents a systems-level perspective on electric and hybrid vehicles technical aspects, basic mathematical relationships and fundamental design guidelines.
The author has chosen to write a book on the basics of EHV, directed mainly to Engineering Students.
proceeds with remarkable consistence to detail this goal over the 10 chapters if the book
The book is concise and clear, its mathematics are kept to a necessary minimum, but fully representative of the scope and the contents is well balanced in general.
a new and timely contribution to the field
warmly recommend it to academia

 Too Academic Nov 27, 2007
Very academic. A lot of electrical theory not much practical advice for building an EV. The book is designed for university students I think.

 Solid on Fundamentals Sep 22, 2007
Dr. Husain is an Electrical Engineer, therefore his book focuses primarily on the electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic & electromechanical aspects of EV & HEV vehicle design. From this perspective, his book is very solid on fundamental EV & HEV design considerations and component analyses. However, the continuously variable transmission (CVT)... including planetary gearsets (used in CVTs to combine/split torque) is a key HEV component. Consequently, I view omitting their discussion as dissapointing. On the other hand, Dr. Husain's text is very well written/edited and his style of explaining technical details is conversational, yet professional. I recommend this book without hessitation.

 Question the MF Momen review... Aug 16, 2007
One must temper the fact that M. F. Momen has written papers with the author. Such as "Lightly Ferromagnetic Rotor Bars for Three-Phase Squirrel-Cage Induction Machines".
I have not read this book but rate it as the first reviewer since the other review is invalid.

Hard to follow, not much pratical information Mar 22, 2007
This book is very hard to follow. The author presents examples (and sometimes answers) without outlining how to solve the problems. This is very frustrating! Most of the work in the book is calculus-based which would not be a problem if the steps for deriving the equations were more explicit. The information is very theoretical with little practical relevance to electric car design. The author starts out by explaining generic vehicle mechanics and then jumps right into battery chemistry and motors. Very little effort is spent on the interrelationships between these elements. The author does a decent job describing motor fundamentals, but he does not spend much time discussing the practical limitations of the technology. The hybrid discussion is relegated to the last chapter of the book, and then only a few pages are devoted to explaining this technology. Most of the chapter is spent describing various thermodynamic cycles such as the Otto cycle and Rankine cycle. Curiously,at this point the author resorts to a very high level discussion of these cycles, using very little math to show the effects of the electric motor on the function and efficiency of the traditional ICE vehicle.

 A timely and valuable book in EV Feb 23, 2006
This book is very helpful for an extensive overview of all the design perspectives regarding EV and HEVs. Very timely book and deserves to be a constant reference for ongoing EV research.
