ABSTRACT:
A system using a stored power unit, such as a battery pack, to supply electric current for driving an electric motor-driven generator, which in turn, drives a propulsion motor drive system. The propulsion motor drive system uses either one, two or several electric propulsion motors to propel a vehicle. The system has a control device that diverts power from the generator output to the stored power unit to recharge and maintain the stored power unit when operating conditions permit. Amorphous energy sources, such as a wind turbine that is mounted on the vehicles roof, for example, can also supply recharging power. By use of strict energy control, the vehicle may be operated over many miles without having to recharge the batteries from a utility power source.
