1. Introduction
In this chapter, the most important possibilities for increasing energy efficiency of electric
vehicles would be considered, regarding energy savings accumulated in the vehicle itself and
increasing the range of performances of the cars with given initial resources. Some of the
possibilities that should provide such a progress nowadays are:
• Using
energy under braking
• Using waste heat energy
• Additional
supply by solar cells
• Improved mechanical energy transmission system
