On the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, kinetic energy is recovered on the front axle during the braking phase. Power from the Motor Generator Unit accelerates the carbon-fiber flywheel, which runs in a high-vacuum. After the corner is taken and the driver accelerates again, the system delivers the energy to the front axle.

In combination with a lighter body enabled by the partial adoption of carbon fiber construction, the new buses will be able to operate continuously over increased distances—up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) on a full charge, at a top speed of 85 km/h (53 mph). Load capacity is 72 passengers.

Under braking, kinetic energy which would otherwise be lost as heat is transferred from the wheels to the KERS, and is used to spin a 6 kg carbon fiber flywheel at up to 60,000 revs per minute. Since the flywheel is activated by braking, and the duration of the energy storage—i.e., —Derek Crabb.

Featuring three UQM motors developing a combined 700 bhp (522 kW), the AEGT has a top speed currently limited to 300 km/h (186 mph). The monocoque chassis is made entirely of carbon fiber to make it lighter and more rigid.

The car will average 100 miles to the gallon and will be able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than six seconds. 100% energy braking recovery. A small carbon fiber accumulator operating between 5,000-7,000 psi will provide for braking recovery energy storage, and will provide power for a full throttle launch to 60 mph in under 5.9

The top speed is 130 km/h (81 mph). Electric range is 130 km (81 miles) under a variety of road conditions and 200 km (124 iles) at a constant speed of 60 km/h (37 mph). More balanced power output with regenerative braking helps keep energy consumption at the lowest level. The Sail SPRINGO EV costs RMB 4.6 (US$0.74)
