	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	51057	Lecture	GG	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	3081 Electrical & Computer Eng Bldg	Mironenko, O	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/25-05/07/25 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Electric Vehicles (EVs) Section Info: Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to drastically reduce the global CO2 footprint to effectively address climate change issues. Massive EV adoption requires the establishment of an EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) to supply the energy needs of EV owners/users. The course examines technical, economic, environmental and policy aspects of EVs and the required EVCI. A basic physics discussion of rolling vehicles serves to determine the power and energy requirements and their implications for energy storage and transfer. The course covers the EV architectures and configurations, as well as the detailed description of the deployment of motors and generators, drives for traction applications, batteries and their management and the EV-grid nexus. The description of the various technologies and approaches deployed in EV design and operations is augmented by the detailed examination of the energy efficiency and environmental benefits of EVs. The application of power electronics to EV charging is accompanied by a detailed examination of the EVCI and its interactions with the existing infrastructures. Throughout the course there is a strong focus on the efficient utilization of energy in an environmentally sensitive manner to emphasize the significant role of EVs and EVCI in the energy transition. Prerequisites: Junior standing in Engineering; ECE 210 or 205 Restriction(s): Not intended for Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
