Here's a series of four online lectures I gave about electric vehicles.

First on the differences between combustion and electric vehicles. As you can see from the slide, electric motors are more powerful, smaller, maintenance free and 4x more efficient.

Here is the follow up lecture with a closer look at how all the different electric vehicles work:
- hybrids
- plug-in hybrids
- full electric vehicles
- fuel cell electric vehicles

For those interested in electric motors, here is a lecture on the main types of electric motors.

The last lecture is on charging and the role of computer protocols.

This is part of the program on electric vehicles at EdX that starts again on November 1st.

The program consists of four courses:
1) Introduction
2) Technology
3) Business
4) Policy

The program is FREE.
You can get certificates for $45/course.
