Electricity is our most familiar source of energy. Nearly every home and business has an electrical service that can support electric vehicle recharging. With special quick chargers, it only takes 15 minutes to recharge electric cars. They have absolutely zero tailpipe emissions. There's no need for air filters, emissions controls, or exhaust systems.
Batteries store the energy for today's electric vehicles.
They are also developing flywheels, capacitors, and other exotic energy storage devices. Electric vehicles are so energy-efficient, some of them use regenerative braking. Electric vehicles have been successfully built and raced by Hawaii teams. Hawaii's very own Konawaena High School's solar car is internationally known and was the basis of the movie, Race the Sun . The year before Konawaena built their solar car, Naalehu Intermediate school built a solar car that went to Indianapolis.
