1. Smart Charging Solutions for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
2022 by Sulabh Sachan, P. Sanjeevikumar, Sanchari Deb



In a universe increasingly determined to replace the glorious growl of fossil-fueled engines with the dignified hum of electric motors, Smart Charging Solutions for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles boldly tackles the most electrifying question of our time: how exactly do you charge these things smartly? As humanity races to wean itself off fossil fuels and embrace the erratic but undeniably charming powers of the sun and wind, this book serves as a beacon for engineers, students and slightly befuddled professionals. It dives headfirst into the high-stakes competition among charging stations (think of it as the EV version of a battle royale) and unpacks the bewildering yet brilliant advances in smart charging. Packed with discussions on pricing schemes, regulatory hurdles, renewable energy wizardry and why your car might one day negotiate its own charging rates, this book is an essential read for anyone wanting to stay ahead of the curve—or at least not embarrass themselves when their car starts charging itself more cleverly than they can.

2. Coherent Wireless Power Charging and Data Transfer for Electric Vehicles
2022 by Chih-Cheng Huang, Chun-Liang Lin



In "Coherent Wireless Power Charging and Data Transfer for Electric Vehicles," Chih-Cheng Huang and Chun-Liang Lin embark on an electrifying journey through the peculiar world of modern power systems—where electric vehicles hum, zap and occasionally emit a curious beep or two. The book dives headfirst into the realm of Energy Storage Systems (ESS), those unsung heroes that not only charge your car but also send and receive data with the grace of a dancing octopus. Beginning with a cheerful overview of the eco-friendly revolution in vehicle power, it proceeds to unravel the mysteries of Adaptive Compensation of the Magnetic Inductive System (ACMIS), where Zero Voltage Switches (ZVS) work their magic, making sure no electrons feel unnecessarily stressed. Chapters unfold like a complex map to a hidden treasure—one that involves a single-end inverter, a P-P network and a remarkable auto-tuning impedance LC tank. Not stopping there, the authors embark on the thrill ride of Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) power transfer, sprinkling in some Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) magic for parking guidance. As they experiment with multifunctional contactless power transfer, they reveal all the secrets of current trimming and data transmission quality—so that, the next time you park, you’ll be more connected than ever before.

3. Developing Charging Infrastructure and Technologies for Electric Vehicles
2021 by Alam, Mohammad Saad, Pillai, Reji Kumar, Murugesan, N.



In the gloriously tangled mess of modern life, Developing Charging Infrastructure and Technologies for Electric Vehicles is the book that valiantly attempts to explain how to plug things in properly—and, by extension, save the planet. Faced with the twin calamities of air pollution and vehicular emissions, humanity has boldly decided to replace exhaust pipes with charging ports, though not without a few hiccups like range anxiety, excruciatingly slow charging times and wallet-draining infrastructure costs. This book delves into the maddeningly intermittent charms of solar and wind power, their awkward yet promising marriage with existing power grids and the surprisingly complex art of making EV chargers both fast and friendly. From smart homes to public parking stations, it maps out a future where your car might actually enjoy its spa days. Whether you're an engineer, a student, or just someone who occasionally wonders what it would take to make plugging in as easy as finding your towel, this book might be the guide you didn't know you needed.

4. Electric Vehicles: Modern Technologies and Trends
2020 by Nil Patel, Akash Kumar Bhoi, Sanjeevikumar Padmanaban, Jens Bo Holm-Nielsen



Electric Vehicles: Modern Technologies and Trends is a book that attempts, against all odds and with suspiciously little regard for the reader’s sanity, to unravel the bewildering universe of electric vehicles—a universe where acronyms like HEV, BEV, FCEV and PHEV float around like slightly smug planets, each boasting about their own unique quirks. From the mind-boggling intricacies of battery power (which, it turns out, is not just "big Duracell for cars") to charging techniques that range from the pleasantly logical to the faintly ridiculous, this tome meanders through theories, case studies and optimization tricks that might make a Vogon poet reconsider their career path. Whether you're a student, a researcher, or someone who just wants to sound smart at parties, this book provides everything you need to stay ahead of the technological curve—or at least fake it convincingly.

5. Plug-in Electric Vehicle Grid Integration
2017 by Islam Safak Bayram, Ali Tajer



In a universe not too far removed from the one where tea and toast dominate the mornings, Plug-in Electric Vehicle Grid Integration emerges as a heroic guide to the electrified chariots of our age. Here, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are not just transport but mobile storage units with delusions of grandeur, gallantly stepping up to stabilize the grid while sipping electrons at their leisure. This thoroughly entertaining tome explores the bizarre and wonderful world of charging infrastructure, from the quaint domestic setups to bustling fast-charging hubs that hum with the energy of a small sun. With the precision of a Vogon bureaucrat and the flair of a hyper-intelligent shade of blue, the book dives into energy storage, converters and the cosmic dance of load balancing, demand forecasting and facility optimization. Engineers—those brave souls standing between chaos and kilowatts—will find MATLAB code and tables that whisper sweet promises of saved time. Truly, a guide for anyone daring enough to dream of a sustainable, electrified tomorrow, where even a PEV might ponder the meaning of life, the universe and grid services.

6. Wireless Charging Technology and the Future of Electric Transportation
2015 by In-Soo Suh



In "Wireless Charging Technology and the Future of Electric Transportation," Dr. In-Soo Suh, with the help of nine rather brilliant minds, embarks on a thrilling, albeit slightly electrifying, adventure into the global quest to make your car charge itself—no wires required. It’s a world where automakers don’t just build cars but also wrangle with the great beast of wireless power transfer (WPT), trying to find the best way to keep everything safe, efficient, and, most importantly, not on fire. The book sweeps through the landscape of green transportation, offering a lively exploration of WPT’s operational principles, how it’s changing the way electric vehicles whiz about and what the future might look like when we finally get wireless charging down to a fine art. It dives into a comparative analysis of conductive versus wireless charging (for those who like a good comparison), introduces the daring idea of dynamic wireless charging systems (so your car can recharge while it’s driving—because why not?) and unpacks the rather sticky technical problems that need solving. And just when you think it’s only about cars, it extends its reach into rail, aviation, marine and even off-road transportation, proving that wireless charging is quite possibly the answer to every transport problem you’ve ever imagined—and a few you haven’t.
