Abstract: A multimodal passenger transportation apparatus having a passenger electric, combustion or hybrid electric/combustion vehicle. Encased within the passenger vehicle (main vehicle) is another smaller vehicle (micro-vehicle) that can be driven by an electric motor. The micro-vehicle can be secured in the main vehicle for travel and detached for autonomous use. The micro-vehicle contains within itself a part of the main vehicle's battery that can be used to power its electric engine and can be charged independently. Once charged, the micro-vehicle can be reinserted back into the main vehicle, at which point both batteries work as one powering the main vehicle's engine. The battery packs are managed by a software system that allows energy to be allocated towards one vehicle's pack or the other, as desired.
