Get Electric Vehicle

For calculations and formulae, you may refer NPTEL course, then you may get some information from IEEE I guess.😊 And my project topic is matrix converter bidirectional contactless charger for EV. Anyway, you may try to implement some control techniques for power electronics converter for EV control. Thank you.
