Abstract
The capacity of the primary energy source is the main parameter participating in a range of the electric vehicle (EV). The final choice of an appropriate structure of sources integrated into the vehicle can consist of one or a variety of energy sources/storages. This way increased effectiveness, thus an increase in driving range as well as regenerative braking energy, can be achieved. Energy storages for EV applications are rated on the basis of three parameters namely, specific energy, energy density and specific power. These are the key parameters taken into account in selecting appropriate energy sources. The article provides an analysis of collaboration of an ultracapacitor module with an accumulator battery.
