Over the past several months, IEEE Spectrum has published a series of articles exploring the major technological and social transformations we face as the world moves from vehicles with internal-combustion engines to electric vehicles.
We have now combined all articles into an e-book, “The EV Transition Explained,” in which author Robert N. Charette, a longtime Spectrum contributing editor, offers a deep dive into the engineering challenges of making and supporting EVs at scale.
The full 49-page e-book is currently available as a free download.
