title: Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals
author:  Iqbal Husain 
description: represents a systems-level perspective on electric and hybrid vehicles technical aspects, basic mathematical relationships and fundamental design guidelines. The author has chosen to write a book on the basics of EHV, directed mainly to Engineering Students. proceeds with remarkable consistence to detail this goal over the 10 chapters if the bookThe book is concise and clear, its mathematics are kept to a necessary minimum, but fully representative of the scope and the contents is well balanced in general. a new and timely contribution to the fieldwarmly recommend it to academia<BR>--Ion Boldea, Journal of Electrical Engineering<br /><br />Dr. Husain's book, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals, is a thorough and insightful introduction to the interdisciplinary topic of traction design for road vehicles. The necessary requirements of energy storage, conversion and processing are presented as the means to providing vehicular performance in a logical progression that students will find readily understandable and practicing engineers will appreciate as a useful reference source. Overall the practical importance of systems engineering and its control are made evident. Salient features are emphasized by worked examples with realistic parameters.<BR>-Alan Wallace, Department of Electrical Engineering, Oregon State University<br /><br />Through a balanced blend of traditional and relatively new topics, Iqbal Husain's Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals introduces students to the 'big picture' of EVs and HEVs. This book significantly exposes the students to nearly every aspect of electric and hybrid vehicles without overemphasizing only one topic. The basic aspects of electric and hybrid vehicles are discussed well - from overall concepts to more detailed design - and reinforced through good examples, illustrations, and exercise problems.<br /><br />Dr. Husain's well-paced coverage and an easy-to-follow writing style are key to the students' understanding and success. My students will have no problem reading this material regardless of his/her Electrical or Mechanical Engineering background. Being a faculty member in a major university with a strong research EV and HEV program, I feel this book truly provides quite enough materials for my needs and will be a big hit with college students and faculty.

  Abstract: With the rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs), one of the urgent issues is how to 
  deploy limited charging facilities to provide services for as many EVs as possible. This paper 
  proposes a bilevel model to depict the interaction between traffic flow distribution and the location 
  of charging stations (CSs) in the EV
