An innovative method of reusing energy, the nanogenerator ultimately could provide automobile manufacturers a new way to squeeze greater efficiency out of their vehicles. Wang estimates about a 10% increase in the average vehicle’s gas mileage given 50% friction energy conversion efficiency. —Mao et al. 2015.04.026.

For the electricity industry, it does not matter much whether the conversion from AC to DC is done on- or off-board. Indeed, the technological choice between on- or off-board chargers will be determined by what suits the vehicles on the market and the relative cost of both systems for the infrastructure provider.
