Fuel Cells, Flywheels and Hybrids There are three types of experimental vehicle (EVs) propulsion technologies on the currently being tested. Batteries are currently the most popular power source for modern EVs but they are by no means the only available technology. A number of alternatives are under development and they, too, are well positioned to rival batteries as an effective EV power source. 1.Fuel cells Some of the most recent and exciting news in electric-vehicle …showed first 75 words of 741 total…

In all, the turbines and flywheel produced about one megawatt of energy, which was how the Patriot was expected to reach speeds approaching 200 mph. These new power sources will revolutionize the transportation industry. They will replace gasoline as the predominant enegy source of our vehicles.
