Note: Ideally, you should complete the first seven EV modules (or similar learning) before working on this one.
This course will enable you to develop an understanding of the different heavy vehicle EV systems from batteries and motors to inverters, and a case study overview of Tesla Semi.
This course will also enable you to develop an understanding of the range of technologies in use on different types of heavy electric vehicle.
Technicians, recovery and emergency services, technical trainers, assessors and vehicle owners.
You will be able to:
Key Topics
Heavy vehicle electric drive systems are fundamentally the same as those used on light vehicles, except that they generally need to produce more torque. Some also use more than three phases to drive the motor; more on this later.
This will cover some current examples of the components, and methods of using them, in heavy vehicle applications. In this context coaches and buses are considered to be heavy vehicles, not just trucks and construction vehicles.
Tesla announced, in November 2017, that the Semi would be powered by four electric motors of the type used in the Tesla Model 3. This content may feel a bit like an advert for Tesla, but its intention is just to be an overview of what is under development! Several manufacturers’ videos are then presented to give a further overview of the subject.
