Future Zero Emission Vehicle Development
This course builds on the basics of electric vehicle knowledge and presents some developing technologies related to the EV rollout. The course is assembled by a collaborative team from BCIT’s Applied Research, School of Transportation and industry partners, and including survey data from BCIT’s nationwide survey around barriers to EV adoption. The goal is to highlight areas of public interest and concern about where the EV industry is heading. We explore some of the emerging battery technologies, faster charging technologies, autonomous charging and feasibility of prototypes making it to production. We recognize the viability of hydrogen vehicles and their role in reducing greenhouse gases while highlighting the need to understand the overall hydrogen strategy from fuel creation to emissions generated at each step of the hydrogen economy.
