Objectives
After completing the module, students will be able to,
- argue why electromobility will play an increasing role in the future based on currently valid parameters and scenarios.
- compare and evaluate the environmental impact of different energy sources.
- derive vehicle concepts from fleet tests.
- classify and discuss drive and package concepts.
- argue differences at component level between electrified and conventional vehicles.
- explain and calculate the properties of electrical machines and their power electronic control systems.
- describe lithium-ion cells' functional principle, properties, structure, and how to use cell models.
- analyze and calculate the relationships within vehicle battery packs and discuss the functions of the individual components, such as the battery management system and the necessary safety systems.
- compare and calculate methods for increasing range and estimate the effects of vehicle thermal management on the range.
- analyze and evaluate the influence of the operating strategy and describe the grid feedback of different charging concepts.

Teaching and learning methods
The module consists of a lecture and an exercise. The courses take place in the summer semester in presence, in the winter semester the video recordings from the summer semester are available online.
The lecture presents the theoretical fundamentals based on the state of the art and science, and an outlook on new developments and technologies is given. In the exercise, the knowledge taught in the lecture will be applied. Specific examples are used to transfer this knowledge into practice.
In this way, students learn, for example, to argue differences at component level between electrified and conventional vehicles, explain and calculate the properties of electrical machines and their power electronic control systems, or describe the functional principle, properties, and structure of lithium-ion cells.
