State of the art and prospects for electric vehicles
Abstract
The electrical components for electric vehicles for use in city centres, viz. dc motors, thyristor controllers, lead-acid accumulators and battery changing techniques have been investigated in experimental vehicles. Their investigation can soon be concluded, and the series construction of vehicles which meet the appropriate marketing requirements commenced. Electric vehicles will help to solve particularly severe environmental problems. Thus, only a few years are needed for their large scale introduction into traffic, and then the statement that a true breakthrough in electric vehicles has already begun, is confirmed.
