The electric motor on the Citaro hybrid assists the combustion engine when high levels of power are required, particularly when moving off. It does not serve to boost maximum power; the output and torque figures for the bus remain unchanged. The electric power generated by recuperation is stored in a bank of supercapacitors.

A composite blend of carbon fibers and polymer resin is being developed that can store and charge more energy faster than conventional batteries can. This material can then be used around the vehicle, replacing existing components, to store and charge energy. Click to enlarge. Close up of the trunk lid carbon fiber composite.

The power generated from the solar panels installed on the roof is stored to be used to recharge the electric hybrid bicycle batteries and illuminate the parking lot lights. Sanyo is using its new Standard Battery System for Power Storage announced in November 2009 in the system. Recharge time is about 3.5

announced that Continental Automotive Systems’ Maxwell-powered voltage stabilization system (VSS) will be a standard feature on 2016. Maxwell’s ultracapacitors, in Continental’s VSS design, also serve as an additional power source for stabilizing the vehicle’s electrical system during periods of high power demand.

At this year’s IAA International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Mercedes-Benz is presenting preproduction models of the new Mercedes-Benz GLC F‑CELL ( earlier post ). The powerful storage battery is space-savingly installed in the rear of the SUV. This mode also creates power reserves for uphill or very dynamic driving.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. While utilities such as E.ON

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.
