Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.1.1 Lecture: Future technology for electric cars

Course subject(s) Module 4. Future Electric Mobility

There are several important technologies and emerging trends in electric vehicle and charging infrastructure design. Of these, the key technologies are those of the vehicle powertrain design, solar electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles, future charging technologies like wireless charging and battery swap, and finally autonomous electric vehicles, amongst many others.

In this lecture by Pavol Bauer, we will discuss key trends in electric vehicle powertrain and battery technology. Then we will look at solar electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles. Following that, we will learn about the vital technologies for future of EV charging namely, battery swap technology, wireless charging, smart charging, and V2G. Finally, the lecture will conclude with introducing autonomous electric vehicles and show us how it can totally change the mobility landscape.

Learning goals:

      1. Trends in vehicle powertrain design
      2. Solar EV
      3. Fuel cell EVs
      4. Future charging technology for EVs –Battery swap, Wireless charging, Smart charging and V2G
      5. Autonomous EVs
