• This book would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of people, and I would like to express my gratitude to all of them.
• Robert Jacobs for giving me the opportunity to work with Daimler-Chrysler. Min Sway-Tin and Jim Cerano for giving me the opportunity to be part of the EPIC electric vehicle (EV) development team.
• The late Sandy Cox for providing with a better understanding of the behavior of the EV batteries, which led to the further investigation of the formation characteristics of the EV batteries and also motivated me to author a practical understanding of EV battery design.
• I would also like to thank my family for their patience and encouragement— my mother, Anju, and father, Rajesh Kumar, my wife, Anita, and my sister Aarti.
• I would also like to thank my father in particular for providing me with the idea for the book design. I would like to thank Otilio Gonzalez for reviewing my manuscript preparation contract and all the members of the EPIC EV team for providing me the motivation to author this book.
• Finally, I would also like to thank Carrie Wagner at Newnes/Butterworth– Heinemann, for making this manuscript a publication success. ix
