Аннотация

The article aims to highlight the desirable and undesirable properties and characteristics of different energy storage technologies. It focuses on the comparison between the different specific battery technologies and supercapacitors currently available on the market, as well as novel
technologies that are still in development. Assessment is made for these technologies based on their strong and weak points. Due to the dynamic nature of the developments made in this technology sector, such assessment of beneficial properties allows for an easier consideration of which technologies have the most desirable properties for automotive use. The current trends and technological solutions used in newest electric and hybrid vehicles is discussed, and predictions are made for the future development for batteries and supercapacitors, as well as their possible hybridization. An assessment of the market share of different powertrain technologies
is also presented with commentary on how research trends are likely to change the popularity and viability of electric and hybrid vehicles.
