Introduction

Today, the issue of electric mobility is more current than ever. After conducting many conversations with people who are not experts in the field and having analyzed their needs, we realized that the general public lacks fundamental information about electric mobility and its modern use. This book was
motivated by the desire to remove this deficit in basic information, or at the very least, reduce
it. It is not aimed at the scientific community and specialized public but rather for general
readers who are interested in learning more about the subject.
The authors are three scientists who have dedicated themselves to the issue both during and
after their studies. They collectively decided to explain and share their knowledge on electric
mobility, explaining it in a way that is simple to understand, removing any existing prejudices and
refuting any misconceptions.
This has been accomplished by avoiding the excessive use of puzzling technical vocabulary or
the excessive use of data. A thorough reading of this book will provide you with a basic
knowledge of electric mobility and give you the opportunity to learn about the advantages and
current disadvantages and the possible solutions to these issues.
This book is designed to give an independent view of the electrical performance of the cars and
their various uses as well as to provide the reader with an informed understanding of the topic.
