Battery plug-in electric vehicle part 2 : design, development, fabrication of transition structures and mounting of aluminium outer shell
Global warming has been a growing issue over the past few years which not only affects our health, but also the environment and ecosystem. One of the main causes of global warming is the emission of greenhouse gas, especially the emission of carbon into the atmosphere. Therefore, it is important for...
