The book begins by laying the groundwork of vehicle dynamics. It explains the forces acting on a vehicle—rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag, and gradient resistance. Unlike standard dynamics texts, however, Hussain immediately contextualizes these forces within the framework of electric and hybrid powertrains. This allows the reader to calculate the power and energy requirements for specific driving cycles, such as the EPA city and highway cycles. Limited previews and chapter excerpts are often available

In "Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals," he brings a unique perspective that integrates electrical systems with mechanical drivetrains. This interdisciplinary approach is exactly what the modern workforce requires, as today's vehicles are essentially computers on wheels, requiring a seamless marriage of hardware, software, and energy systems.
