Carbon Fiber London Parts Recharge 
Green Car Congress
OCTOBER 17, 2013
A composite blend of carbon fibers and polymer resin is being developed that can store and charge more energy faster than conventional batteries can. The material combines carbon fibers and a polymer resin, creating a very advanced nanomaterial, and structural supercapacitors. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.

Researchers from Imperial College London and their European partners, including Volvo Car Corporation, are developing a prototype multifunctional structural composite material composed of carbon fibers and a polymer resin which can store and discharge electrical energy and which is also strong and lightweight enough to be used for car parts.

In a simultaneous—and video linked—unveil in New York, London and Beijing, BMW introduced the production version of its i3 battery-electric vehicle on Monday. As a visual cue, the pure battery-electric version only has the recharging port; an i3 with the range extender will also have a fueling port on the front quarter.).
Cars That Think

Spinning at up to 25,000 rpm, two permanent-magnet motors independently power the front wheels, or regenerate energy from braking to recharge the batteries. That front-drive mode gets the car a green light in cities like London and Rome as they begin to bar polluting cars from their downtown areas. And don’t forget sound.

Higher levels of regen allow the driver to slow the vehicle almost to a stop (with “B”), while recharging the battery. Here I can see all the parts together. The underlying system is also recording all relevant data for each part for 10 years.) One is the five different levels of regenerative brake settings, described above.
