Primary Education Coursework

 

Hybrid Systems Overview

This course describes the technology of Hybrid Drivetrains, including modification procedures to produce a plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV)

Course Goals 

To educate the student with the basic knowledge of hybrid/electric drive vehicle technology. In addition to discussion of drivetrain components, the course guide includes a complete feasibility analysis outlining the displacement of emissions as electricity displaces gasoline.  Impacts on the electrical grid and infrastructure needs are also addressed.
