Project completed - Contact: ftm@ftm.mw.tum.de

Problem

The main problem of electric cars today is the short range. Besides the high costs compared to cars with internal combustion engine is this the reason why electric cars are still very seldom on our streets.

Aim

Identify new technologies for the extension of range for electric cars
Evaluation of new technologies for the extension of range for electric cars
Suggestion for electric cars

Approach

Research about possible technologies for the range extension of electric cars
Selection of suitable technologies/Development of new technologies
Design of prototypes/experiments
Evaluation of the technologies
