Modern Automotive Performance: EV & Hybrid Tuning and Maintenance bridges the gap between traditional car tuning and the emerging world of electric and hybrid vehicles. Whether you are an enthusiast, a professional mechanic, or a technically curious driver, this book offers a comprehensive guide to understanding, maintaining, and optimizing modern automotive powertrains.

This book complements my earlier works on car tuning and automotive maintenance-Autonomous Car Maintenance and Complete Car Tuning and Performance Guide-but it also serves as the foundation of a new series dedicated to the future of cars, hybrids, and EVs.

Inside, you will explore:

• The global shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles and what it means for automotive enthusiasts.
• Fundamentals of EV powertrains and hybrid systems, including battery packs, electric motors, inverters, and regenerative braking.
• Maintenance principles for EVs and hybrids, from battery health and cooling systems to high-voltage safety practices.
• Performance tuning techniques specific to electric and hybrid vehicles, including motor torque optimization, ECU/VCU remapping, and battery upgrades.
• Charging systems, infrastructure considerations, and smart charging strategies.
• Safety, reliability, and preventive maintenance guidance to keep your EV or hybrid running at peak efficiency.
• Case studies including Tesla, Nissan Leaf, and Toyota Prius, showcasing real-world applications and upgrades.

With detailed appendices, checklists, and professional insights, this book equips you with the knowledge to enhance performance, ensure reliability, and stay ahead in the rapidly evolving automotive world.
