1st course in the Sensors for a Carbon Free World Specialization
Instructors: Jay Mendelson, MSME, Lecturer
You will learn about how electric vehicles work differently from gasoline or diesel fuel powered vehicles and the major types of electric vehicles. We then explain the unique components of full electric and hybrid electric vehicles, and how in-vehicle and outside battery charging systems work. We reference all the sensors that are used for in-vehicle and outside unique components. Then we do a deep dive into how each of these sensors work.
