Abstract:
The most distinct advantage of electric vehicle is electric motor's quick and precise torque generation. I named this technique 'Motion Control of EV' and have been demonstrating its basic effectiveness of various proposed methods like adhesion control by using some really made experimental EVs. On the other hand, 'Motor', 'Capacitor' and 'Wireless' will be the key technologies for cars in the future, instead of 'Engine', 'Battery' and 'Quick charge'. Future cars will be driven by electric motors, but we still have lots of problems in energy supply. Why are electric vehicles supposed to be charged with 'stopped', in a 'short time', and by 'big energy', even though the energy form of electricity is completely different from that of gasoline. Super-capacitors and wireless power transfer to EV's in motion will play an important role in the future EV world by drastically reducing too big usage of recent high-capacity batteries.
