Engineering I want to work with electric vehicles. Chemist or Electrical Engineer?

AI Thread Summary
To fully understand electric motors, vehicles, and the underlying principles of electricity generation, a foundation in both electrical engineering and chemistry is beneficial. Electrical engineering will provide insights into the design and functioning of electric systems, while chemistry is crucial for comprehending battery technology and the chemical processes involved. Additionally, an interest in solar energy and photovoltaic cells suggests that knowledge in renewable energy technologies would also be advantageous. Exploring both fields can offer a comprehensive understanding of how electricity works, how it is generated, and the chemistry behind batteries.
