Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Principles and Applications with Practical Perspectives

I have been in electric vehicle domains since 2007 and have read many papers and books. This is the best book I have ever read. Very well organized, accurate, inspiring and complete. I would definitely recommend it to all my students and colleagues not only in universities but also in OEMs and suppliers.

Not bad, depends on your level of understanding and background, fairly advanced heavy on the power electronics, light on batteries and energy storage.

Very useful materials for me on this subject and it is well written too.

While the rest of the book might be fine, chapter 4 (Ch4), has been a let down. It concentrates on the topic of planetary gears in Toyota Prius. The explanation is extremely poor with many notation errors. Pretty much shame on the editor and reviewers. Planetary gears are such a great application in Prius and Volt that having that botched up in Ch4 is a significant let down in this book. Hybrids books usually don't touch this subject and this text did, but so bad that it ruined the rest of the textbook for me.
