Electric Vehicles Poised to Outperform Gas-Powered Cars with Innovative Battery-Supercapacitor Hybrid System
The researchers developed models to improve electric vehicles by combining a high-energy ZEBRA battery with a powerful supercapacitor. This combination increased available power, reduced strain on the battery, and improved energy efficiency. They also tested a hybrid system using an internal combustion engine and ZEBRA battery as a range extender for a London taxi, minimizing emissions. The study shows that these energy source combinations can enhance electric vehicle performance and sustainability.
