Development was rapid: The first development system of KERS in 2007 weighed 107 kg, and achieved an energy efficiency of 39%. liters for 100 kilometers (84 mpg US). The next step in hybrid development will be wireless recharging of the battery. By 2009, it was at 25.3 kg and 70% efficiency. Earlier post.). Simulation.
