Hello!

Welcome to the second week of the course! In this week, we will introduce you to one of the most critical components of an EV: the battery. It is the main determinant of the cost and performance of the vehicle. Therefore, we will also look at the working principles of the electric powertrain and the battery.

We will then explore the battery value chain, from raw material extraction and battery manufacturing to the end-of-life phase. Our focus then shifts to the realm of EV charging.

Christoph’s video below provides an introduction to the content and key topics of the second week.
