Now is developing other on-board energy storage methods like using ultra capacitors, or a spinning flywheel, which perform kinetic energy to electric energy.
Nowadays interest for electric car motor is increased because the negative impact of gasoline cars on environmemt is growing. You can notice the problems like global warming, pollution. Unrest in the Middle East leads to the rising of gas prices. So the electric car is good alternative to overcome all these issues.
