KTSi trackside flywheel systems provide voltage support to overtaxed sections of electric rail systems, eliminating slowdowns, as well as capturing, storing and reusing the regenerative braking energy of rail cars. Regenerative electric trains convert kinetic energy into electrical energy during braking. Click to enlarge.

When you raise or take your foot off the accelerator in an EV the regenerative braking will start to slow the car down before you touch the brake pedal, and harvests the energy from doing so, storing it in your electric car’s (or van’s) battery. There are many examples of companies going electric with their fleets.

However, the best current technology to store the energy required by electric motors is the lithium-ion battery, and most (although not all) types of such batteries contain nickel. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) such as the Toyota Prius have been an important market for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

If the driver eases up on the accelerator, the electric motor acts as a generator, converting the kinetic energy into electricity which is then fed back into the battery. If required, a high-voltage alternator hooked up to the combustion engine generates extra power, which is then stored in the hybrid battery.
