Overview

What really happens inside an electric vehicle when a warning light flashes on the dashboard? Is it the battery pack? A failing sensor? A misbehaving BMS? Or software quietly throwing fault codes you don't yet understand? If you've ever stood in front of an EV or hybrid vehicle and wondered, ""Where do I even begin?"" - this book was written for you. Electric Vehicle & Hybrid Diagnostics is not just another overview of electric cars. It is a deep, practical, system-level journey into how modern electric and hybrid vehicles actually think, communicate, regulate heat, distribute power, and protect themselves from failure. Have you ever asked yourself: How does an EV battery pack truly operate beyond simple voltage ratings? What exactly does the Battery Management System monitor, calculate, and control in real time? Why does thermal management determine performance, longevity, and safety? How do inverters, DC-DC converters, and onboard chargers interact under load? What really causes isolation faults, degradation patterns, and communication errors? How does embedded software influence hardware behavior? Modern vehicles are no longer just mechanical systems - they are rolling computers powered by high-voltage energy networks. If you don't understand the electrical, thermal, and software layers together, you're only seeing part of the picture. This book guides you step by step through: EV battery architectures and chemistry behavior under stress Battery Management System logic and data interpretation Thermal management strategies and cooling diagnostics Power electronics - inverters, converters, and high-voltage distribution Charging systems and fault isolation CAN communication and software-based troubleshooting Real-world diagnostic thinking for technicians and engineers But more importantly, it challenges you to think critically. When a vehicle limits power, is it protecting the battery or responding to thermal imbalance? When charging fails, is it a hardware fault or a communication breakdown? When the system derates performance, which parameter crossed its threshold? Diagnostics is not guesswork. It is structured reasoning. You will learn how to approach EV and hybrid systems with clarity - how to interpret data streams, understand fault codes in context, and trace problems through electrical, thermal, and software pathways. Whether you are a technician transitioning from internal combustion engines, an engineering student preparing for the future of mobility, or a professional seeking mastery in high-voltage systems, this book equips you with the knowledge to diagnose with confidence. Because the future of automotive technology is not coming - it is already here. Are you ready to stop guessing and start understanding? If you want to confidently analyze EV battery behavior, decode BMS logic, master thermal management diagnostics, and troubleshoot modern electric vehicle systems like a professional, then this is your next essential resource. Take control of the technology shaping tomorrow's roads. Get your copy today and step into the future of electric vehicle diagnostics with clarity, precision, and expertise.
