Aiden Miao with Eliana Miao
For the kid who asks “but how does it actually work?” This illustrated science book opens explains the real science of EVs, from magnets and motors to batteries and regenerative braking. The book breaks the science down using kid friendly examples, like fidget spinners and cannonballs. Featuring cars from Audi, Chevy, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Porsche, and Rivian, help inspire a love for science with the cars kids see on the street everyday!
Electromagnets, lithium-ion chemistry, heat pumps and center of mass. Kids learn the same ideas engineers use, explained in plain words and diagrams.
Comparisons that stick
Motors work like a game of Telephone, only faster. A car spins like a fidget spinner. A crumple zone acts like a pillow. Every idea is tied to something your kid knows, so the science is easier to understand.
Cars they'll spot on the road
Real electric cars from Audi, Chevy, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Porsche, and Rivian, shown in full-color photos and cutaways, so they see the science all around town every day.
A gift for the kid who asks “why?” from the back seat.
