Design of the Circuitry, Battery Management System, and Wireless Communication of an Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicles start to take an essential place in our lives to support the sustainability and energy efficiency. In order to train the required workforce, a team of engineering students is assigned to develop an in-house electric vehicle in a university in Turkey. The resultant electric vehicle participates in an electric vehicle efficiency challenge to compete against other teams. This study summarizes the details of two important components of an electric vehicle, the battery management system and wireless communication. The study also covers the complete circuitry of the designed vehicle for the hope to help the interested audience to demonstrate a high quality work on vehicle design.
