I havent signed up yet myself but probably will.....might find it hard to find time as I'm in college doing Mechatronics.

Hi, I signed up to this too, and have spent the weekend installing software for the course - anyone else here on the course?

I started slogging through it thinking there was some basic physics exercises to recap before getting to the course content. But it seems like it's all pretty heavy physics based stuff, and quite far away from the EV fundamentals I was expecting this course to be about.

Disappointing. I was ready to sign up!

It's more if you were designing a vehicle from scratch and needed to know the physics equations required to find the specifications of the electric motor required, size of battery pack etc. for the sort of purpose you intend.

You would get a good grounding though. The rest will come later.
