It has four ports: two connect to the traction motor and high voltage battery; a third connects to a secondary energy source, which in this test car is a super capacitor bank; and the fourth powers the vehicle’s 12V systems. Energy can also be transferred directly between the battery and super capacitor ports. —Mark Willows.

A new study by the International Council on Clean Transport (ICCT) has found that the gap between type-approval and “real-world” fuel consumption / CO 2 values for European cars increased from about 8% in 2001 to 21% today, with a particularly strong increase since 2007. At the type approval test the battery is charged to 100% capacity.
