Electrical and Hybrid Cars
At PHILLY-TECH, students will learn how electric motors function in electric vehicles and how to maintain them. In contrast, students will learn about Hybrid electric vehicles which are powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor and use energy stored in batteries. Students will learn how the battery is charged through regenerative braking and by the internal combustion engine. Students will also learn how a hybrid automobile uses a mix of fuel and electric power to combine propulsion in order to provide increased fuel performance. The advantages of a hybrid motor include comparatively less fuel usage and reduced Carbon Dioxide emission and more environmental than traditional gasoline or diesel-engine vehicles.
This program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to diagnose, repair, and maintain electrical and hybrid vehicles
