Course Overview

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand EV architecture, BEVs, series hybrids, and parallel hybrids, and how each compares to IC engine vehicles.
  • Analyse electric motor types used in EVs, BLDC, PMSM, and 3-phase induction, and how to select the right one.
  • Apply knowledge of lithium-ion batteries, BMS functions, and cell balancing to real EV systems.
  • Evaluate EV charging topologies, fast charging, battery swapping, and India's charging infrastructure.
  • Identify how machine learning is applied in battery management, energy management, and autonomous driving.

Who This Course Is For:

  • Mechanical and electrical engineering students targeting roles at Indian EV OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, or ER&D firms.
  • Working engineers who need structured EV domain knowledge to transition into EV-focused roles.
  • Students preparing for interviews at Tata Motors EV, Ola Electric, Ather Energy, Mahindra Electric, or KPIT.
  • Anyone who has read fragmented EV content online and wants one structured, end-to-end program.
  • Professionals in power electronics or embedded systems looking to extend into the EV domain.

Both can take this course. Module 8 has a dedicated lesson for each discipline, mapping the specific skills mechanical and electrical engineers need to develop for EV roles. No deep electrical theory is assumed — concepts are introduced before being applied.

OEMs (Tata Motors EV, Mahindra Electric, Ola Electric, Ather Energy), Tier-1 and ER&D firms (KPIT, Tata Technologies, Bosch India), and EV infrastructure companies (Tata Power EV, ChargeZone, Statiq). Module 8 covers the top employers and what each looks for.

Module 10 focuses on how ML is applied in EV contexts — battery state estimation, energy optimisation, and autonomous driving perception. It is introductory and application-focused, not a machine learning course. It gives you the vocabulary and context to understand AI-integrated EV systems.
