| 00:00 | Hi, I'm Sasha Anise and welcome to the High Performance Academy EV Fundamentals course. |
| 00:04 | Jumping right into any performance electric vehicle project without the proper knowledge and experience can quickly become very frustrating and expensive, if not outright dangerous. |
| 00:13 | So, this course has been designed to give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to safely work with and get the most out of your electric vehicle project. |
| 00:20 | If you're wanting to get ahead of the game and master electric vehicle drivetrains before they become the most common thing on the road, or you're planning to take your build to a whole new level and convert it to EV power, this course is going to be a perfect starting point for you. |
| 00:32 | I've been working with performance EV applications through my business Mountain Pass Performance for a long time now, and over these years I've gained a thorough understanding of the systems involved and how they're integrated. |
| 00:42 | Thanks to High Performance Academy, I'm now able to share this knowledge and help enthusiasts all over the world as they get involved in a new and rapidly growing realm of the automotive industry. |
| 00:51 | Most people think of electric vehicles as incredibly complicated and untouchable systems, but the reality is that providing you know what you're doing and have the right guidance, the incredible performance that an EV driveline can offer is out there for anyone who's willing to put in the time and effort. |
| 01:05 | This course aims to give you the right tools to work with any electric vehicle project safely and correctly, with the goal of teaching you how all of these systems work and interact with each other. |
| 01:14 | By the time you've completed the over 40 modules found inside, you're going to have a very thorough understanding of electric vehicle systems and have a great head in moving forward with your project. |
| 01:24 | We're going to start with the basics in order to get a good grasp on how EVs work, their limitations when it comes to cooling and range, as well as a solid look at what's involved for an EV conversion. |
| 01:34 | With a base layer of knowledge to work from, we'll then move to an in-depth look at motors, inverters, and batteries. |
| 01:39 | These are the big three pieces to an EV system most of you probably have some concept of, and although we're going to be delving pretty deep into these topics, it's all logical, clearly laid out, and you'll find it's easy to get your head around. |
| 01:51 | As you're probably aware, there's a lot more to just a complete EV system than just motors, inverters, and batteries. |
| 01:56 | So, after those topics are well and truly covered, you'll then learn about the electrical control units, kind of the brains of the system, as well as other ancillary devices that are part of an EV. |
| 02:06 | Cabling and wiring is also a big part of any electrical project, and we'll be looking at that topic too, ensuring that you have the confidence to understand and work with electrical wiring diagrams and schematics that are involved in EV projects. |
| 02:17 | We're going to finish off the bulk of this course by diving into the design and layout of EV thermal systems so you have a good understanding in the unique challenges that are involved with cooling and heating an EV application. |
| 02:28 | After you've completed all the modules, we'll be taking a detailed look at some practical examples of real-world projects found right here in the Mountain Pass Performance Workshop. |
| 02:36 | You'll be able to see everything you've learned in action, and the aim here is to really seal that fresh EV knowledge in by seeing it carried out in practice. |
| 02:43 | This course is going to set you up perfectly to get started on your own EV project, and if you want to dive deeper into any of the subjects we discuss here, don't forget to jump into our members forum where you'll be able to ask the big questions and discuss with myself and others in the community. |
