The use of a carbon-enhanced valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery will help maximize energy recuperation during deceleration, fully realizing SpeedStart’s potential for high power generation and hence electrical energy recovery. This compares with €6,000 to more than €18,000 for a full hybrid or electric vehicle. —Guy Morris.
