Low rolling resistance is important to ensure that the tyre does not wear out due to the high torque that occurs due to the inertia. Less friction also entails much better efficiency and longer tyre life.

A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle and electric vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) propulsion system with an electric propulsion system (hybrid vehicle drivetrain).

In an electric vehicle, reversible heat pumps can be used to both warm the battery and cool it. When cooling it, the excess heat from the battery can be sent to the cabin heater.

Drivetrain is the assembly of all the components that are involved in the transmission of the power from the engine of the vehicle to its wheels.

Roadside street cabinets could play a significant role in the EV revolution because they are fixtures in almost any community with an internet connection. The technology optimizes operating costs by ensuring maximum availability of charging services.

The self-heating battery uses a thin nickel foil with one end attached to the negative terminal and the other extending outside the cell to create a third terminal.

Pop-up chargers are designed to be flush with the pavement, so they do not interfere with walkways or create trip hazards. Until it is activated by a user, the charging portion of the device is hidden underground.

Wireless inductive charging allows an electric vehicle to automatically charge without the need of cables. For the wireless charging technologies, different EV models can share their charging infrastructure if the same wireless power transfer technology is adopted

Nickel metal hydride batteries consist of a positive plate containing nickel hydroxide as its principal active material, a negative plate mainly composed of hydrogen-absorbing alloys, a separator made of fine fibers, an alkaline electrolyte, a metal case and a sealing plate provided with a self-resealing safety vent.

Metal–air batteries are a promising technology that could be used in several applications, from portable devices to large-scale energy storage applications. Metal-air batteries are a family of electrochemical cells powered by metal oxidation and oxygen reduction.
