The most useful part is the structured approach. Instead of jumping from symptom straight to a component, you verify the system and signal first β that makes a real difference on the job. Battery, BMS, motor and charging all connect into one clear diagnosis flow.

The CAN, UDS, oscilloscope and measurement sections were the most useful for my work. Comparing a signal against its expected value before deciding makes troubleshooting far more systematic. A solid workshop reference for complex electrical faults.
Very practical for battery pack repair. Cell capacity, internal resistance, cell matching, pack rebuilding and BMS calibration are all tied together. The fault recipes and component test values make it a quick bench reference too.
The two books work well together β one builds the foundation in EV architecture, HV safety, charging and diagnostics, the other covers advanced repair and workshop systems. Job cards, SOPs, tooling, pricing and warranty are genuinely useful from a workshop owner's view.
Even with experience, intermittent faults and communication problems come down to measurement discipline. CAN, HVIL, insulation faults, contactors, pre-charge, motor testing and controller repair are covered in real depth. The "reading β limit β decision" approach is especially practical.
Frequently Asked Questions
Vol 01 β EV Energy Management & Control (26 chapters, 68 pages) builds the foundation: EV architecture, high-voltage safety, Li-ion and LFP batteries, BMS, BLDC/PMSM/induction motors, controllers, CAN bus, charging and thermal systems.
Vol 02 β Advanced EV Diagnostics & Repair (40 chapters, 104 pages) takes it to the bench: waveform libraries, HVIL and insulation faults, pack rebuilding, BMS relearn, motor and controller repair, charger board repair, plus 9 reference appendices with 150+ fault recipes.
All three β 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers. Vol 02 has a dedicated chapter on the smart-BMS and controller protocols used in Indian e-scooters and e-rickshaws, and explains AIS-038 Rev.2, AIS-156, IS 17017 and AIS-138 in workshop language.
English, written in plain workshop language. The terms are the ones used on the floor β BMS, HVIL, pre-charge, back-EMF, SOC/SOH β so it's easy to follow even if English isn't your first language.
Yes. Vol 01 starts with EV vs ICE and builds up architecture, safety and systems step by step. Vol 02 assumes Vol 01 and moves to instrument-level work. It is not a beginner primer though β if you've never worked on a vehicle or with basic electrical measurement, start with that first.
No. Where a topic belongs to Vol 01, Vol 02 goes deeper instead of repeating it β CAN becomes bit timing and DBC building, BMS becomes thresholds and relearn, the pack becomes teardown and rebuild. 66 separate chapters in total.
Use them to understand and cross-check. The printed values are typical reference ranges β they don't replace the manufacturer's service data for the specific vehicle or pack in front of you. Where the book and an OEM document differ, the OEM document wins.
Yes β Vol 01 has a full section on HV safety protocols, PPE, isolation and emergency handling, and Vol 02 covers insulation thresholds and damaged battery handling. But a book is not a substitute for training: EV systems carry voltages that can cause serious injury or death. Work on HV only with proper training, rated PPE and insulated tools.
