Electric car main problem: Typical use profile

The electric car will succeed only if 90% of today's car drivers are able to do 99% of the things they do with their cars already.






A typical every day usage on the way to the office:
  • The car parks at home and is 100% charged.
  • 10 km driving to the next highway reduces energy storage to 80%
  • 20 km on the highway recharges energy storage to 90%
  • 15 km to the target reduces energy storage to 75%
  • The car parks at the target and becomes 100% recharged.
A typical usage for a long distance vacation travel:
  • The car parks at home and is 100% charged.
  • 10 km driving to the next highway reduces energy storage to 80%
  • 1000 km on the highway recharges energy storage to 100%
  • 30 km to the target reduces energy storage to 60%
  • The car parks at the target and becomes 100% recharged.
If any point of a travel has no more than 50 km distance to the next energy track equipped highway, the energy strorage of the electric car has only to be for 50 km range.

Even a new super battery with 200 km range would be the hell at a long distance vacation travel. Most people use their car for long distance vacation travels. Their needs can be only satisfied with the energy track system or a normal car with enough energy for 1000 km in the tank.



  1992: Energy Track for electric cars


How long is the range of an electric car? As long as the electric cable ;-) A joke becomes earnest and is called energy track.

How to make electric cars useable
Wait forever for new battery systems? No, the only chance for the electric car is to refuel it while it is moving: Energy Track system


New race class in motor sport
Motor sport has a great history to develop new technologies later found in every car. Energy track system to perform a new series of car races.


Highway costs with energy track
Is it possible to finance the energy track system for electric cars by selling the electric power more expensive than from the normal power grid?
