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.

2.6.1 Case study: Carver electric vehicle

Course subject(s) Module 2. Battery Technology for EVs

Now that we have learnt about battery technology, let us revisit the Carver EV and look deeper into the battery. The Carver electric vehicle uses 5.4 kWh Lithium iron phosphate battery. The charging time is 4.2 hours to 80%, and 6.5 hours to 100%.

The battery, along with the battery management system, is located in the back of the car, between the 2 wheels:

In this next video, Chris van den Brink, Technical Director of Carver will tell us about the type of battery they used and why they choose it, their methods to ensure battery longevity, and charging methods of Carver electric vehicles.
