Which type of engineer designs electric cars?

You’re right, it is pretty complicated—and as they say, it takes a village. Many types of engineers have their fingerprints all over the genesis and realization of an EV. Here’s what each type might work on.
- Chemical engineers are responsible for the building of lithium ion cells and/or the development of batteries.
- Computer scientists work on the data aspects of electric vehicle technology, including the algorithms that monitor battery life and performance.
- Mechanical engineers look after thermal systems and other parts of the car.
- Electrical engineers work on things like the motor and the wire harness.
