Hoboken, NJ : John Wiley & Sons, 2018. | Includes bibliographical references and index. | “The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter–for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.” Nikola Tesla (1856–1943). “An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn’t take his education too seriously.” Charles Kettering (1876–1958) “A problem well stated is a problem half-solved.” Charles Kettering. This book describes a technological evolution that has major implications around the globe. The objective of this book is to provide the theory behind electric vehicles and insight on the factors motivating the global adoption of these technologies. The story told in the book is largely based on technologies originally developed in Detroit, California, and Japan. However, these technologies are spreading rapidly around the world, having been embraced by Germany,French, Chinese, and Korean and other global manufacturers. While the car is changing, it is worth noting that the foundations of the modern car are anything but new; vehicular technology and electrical machines are products of the nineteenth century, while semiconductors, lithium-ion batteries, and PEMfuelcellsareproductsofthetwentiethcentury.Thesetechnologiesaresignificantly impacting transportation in the early twenty-first century and becoming essential components of the modern vehicle. I had the privilege of working on the General Motors’ EV1 electric car program in Southern California for ten years. The EV1 was the first electric car developed for mass production in the modern era. I even met my wife, Mary, a mechanical engineer from Detroit, when we worked together on the EV1 – we were both working on the new wireless charging approach known as inductive coupling. I left the automotive world, returningtoIrelandtoteach, and yet my teaching and research still revolve around automotive topics. The closest connection to automotive history here on the south coast of Ireland is the ancestral home of the Ford family, from which William Ford fled to the United States during the Great Irish Famine in 1847. His son, Henry Ford, was a semi-literate Michigan farm boy, who grew up to revolutionize an industry and create what we now call mass-market consumer capitalism. 2020-02-06T03:05:49Z 2020-02-06T03:05:49Z 2018 Book http://dspace.uniten.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/13392 en John Wiley & Sons Ltd |
