Abstract: An electric vehicle is proposed which comprises a reversible power supply (or which is coupled with a reversible power supply), one or more electric motors that are connected to wheels via a mechanical transmission (or without such transmission), one or several reversible converters, which make it possible to control the speed and/or torque of the aforesaid electric motors in all four quadrants of electromechanical characteristic, a high capacity capacitor (supercapacitor) and a ballast resistor. The vehicle is provided with a reversible dc step-up/step-down transformer, two current sensors, two voltage sensors, a vehicle speed sensor, a speed sensor for one of the electric motors and a control system, wherein one or several reversible converters are connected directly to the terminals of the reversible power supply. The supercapacitor is connected to the terminals via the reversible transformer.
