Abstract: The electric vehicle with an autonomous power supply source in the form of a rechargeable battery comprises one electric motor connected to the wheels of the vehicle via an optional mechanical transmission, and a control system, which comprises one or more reversible converters that regulate the speed and/or torque of said electric motor, a capacitor having a high capacitance and a ballast resistor with an arrester, one reversible DC-to-DC converter with a control system, two current sensors, and two voltage sensors. The converters are connected directly to the terminals of the power supply source; the capacitor is connected to the terminals of the power supply source via said reversible converter. The outputs of said sensors are connected to the inputs of the control system of the reversible converter, the outputs of which are connected to the control inputs of the reversible converter and the arrester.

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.
