  • Completion of the Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology Beginner level, or working knowledge of powertrain sizing, battery basics, electric machines, and vehicle dynamics
  • A computer capable of running MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape
  • Comfort with basic control systems and vehicle dynamics concepts

About this course

Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology with Ucanly, Level 2 Intermediate, takes you from student to EV systems engineer. Built for practitioners who have completed the Beginner level or have working knowledge of powertrain sizing, battery basics, electric machines, and vehicle dynamics, this program goes deep into cell modelling, ageing and thermal runaway risk, and the algorithms behind state of charge and state of health estimation. You will model PMSM machines in the dq frame, implement field oriented control with space vector PWM, and in your minor project in week five, build a complete battery management system model with cell modelling, state of charge and state of health estimation, cell balancing, and thermal and safety logic, built and validated fully in simulation. You will then study energy management strategies for hybrids, thermal management, and CAN bus vehicle networks and model based design workflows. You will graduate having built a full EV or hybrid vehicle control system in your week ten major project, with a motor control loop, a BMS, an energy management strategy, CAN communication, and drive cycle validation, defended live to Ucanly mentors. This program is fully online, with every lab delivered through industry standard simulation tools exactly the way OEMs and EV startups do early stage design and controls development, so you build genuine, defensible skills without ever needing a lab or hardware.
