Very good book. It took me from knowing a couple of things about EV to understandingg all aspects of EV design.

This book specifically treats the titled subject. The photographic record is well done.

from Newnes
Price: $63.96
Customer Review:
In "Electric Vehicle Battery Systems", there is no information on the author's, Sandeep Dhameja's, education. His occupation at the time of publication (2002) seems to be in the field of business consulting. That his education, if any, is not in a technical field at all, becomes credible when... more info | 1.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
The author claims to have written this book mostly in 1998. My edition has an afterward from a few years later. In any case, 1998 was a year in which things looked much different for alternate-energy cars. On the positive side, this book has a lot of interesting information about the history of cars... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
The dream of the electrical vehicle was first inspired by the success of the sunraycer, a vehicle capable of 41 mph and able to traverse the US on five gallons of gas.

Now I know this book is an Idiot's Guide to hybrid vehicles, but I didn't need anybody to hold my hand through the entire book.
