Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Workshop
Event Introduction:
The Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Workshop was a two-day technical training session organized under Chakravyuha 2025, the National-level technical fest of the Department of Mechatronics Engineering in association with IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS). It aimed to give students a foundational understanding of automotive electrical and electronic systems, along with the configurations and operating principles of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Vehicles (HVs). The workshop brought together theory and practical demonstrations, helping participants bridge academic learning with real EV and HV applications.
Event Overview:
Students were introduced to the core architecture of EVs and HVs, including electrical powertrains, energy storage systems, converters, motors, and control logic. The training featured expert lectures, practical demonstrations, and technical discussions that clarified how modern electric and hybrid vehicles operate in real-world conditions. Participants learned how EV and HV systems integrate with automotive electronics, how power flows through the drivetrain, and how different configurations affect performance, efficiency, and sustainability. The structured sessions across
two days allowed students to engage directly with resource persons, ask questions, and view real demonstrations at the EV & HV Center of Excellence.
Key Highlights of the Session:
• Introduction to EV and HV architecture and working principles.
• Understanding automotive electrical and electronic systems.
• Live demonstrations of EV and HV components and subsystems.
• Exposure to real-world vehicle configurations, powertrains, and diagnostics.
• Guidance from expert coordinators is supported by hands-on visual demonstrations.
• Strong student participation and active interaction during the sessions.
Conclusion:
The Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Workshop enabled students to gain a clear understanding of how EVs and HVs function and how electrical and electronic subsystems interact within modern automotive platforms. Through demonstrations and structured explanations, participants learned
about energy flow, powertrain behaviour and system-level integration. Students finished the workshop with stronger conceptual clarity, practical awareness of EV and HV components, and an improved ability to relate classroom theories to real vehicle technologies. The exposure also increased their confidence in pursuing advanced topics in sustainable mobility, electric powertrains, and automotive engineering.
