System-Level Quality Engineering of Battery Electric Vehicles

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are transforming mobility, but the way quality is defined and engineered has not kept pace. Traditional approaches focus on individual components meeting specifications, assuming overall performance is simply the sum of parts. In modern BEVs, this assumption no longer holds. System behavior is driven by continuous interaction between electrical, thermal, mechanical, and software-based subsystems.System-Level Quality Engineering of Battery Electric Vehicles introduces a practical framework for understanding quality as an emergent system property. It examines how key subsystems-batteries, battery management systems, power electronics, thermal systems, and charging interfaces-interact to shape real-world performance, reliability, and lifecycle outcomes.Using a systems engineering perspective, the book explores how failures propagate across subsystems, why conventional validation methods may miss interaction-driven issues, and how manufacturing variation and field usage influence long-term behavior. It also highlights the growing role of software, control strategies, and external dependencies in defining vehicle quality.Designed for engineers, quality professionals, and decision-makers, this book bridges theory and practice. By shifting focus from components to interactions, it provides a foundation for building more reliable, scalable, and high-quality BEV systems in an increasingly complex and connected mobility ecosystem.
