For the purpose of reducing air-pollution and CO_2 exhaust by automobiles the development of electric vehicles, namely EV have been positively performed widely, which may promise hereafter effective use of fuel consequently. At the same time, electric double layer capacitors, say EDLC's have been also developed as one of promising energy storage devices. Then, in this paper electric power generated by the related motor in the braking process is proved to be charged in the EDLC with high efficiency. Also, the subsequent experiments confirm that the charged power works effectively for EV accelaration, which means realization of regenerative brake system. In addition, outline of driving tests by a trial EV can be seen here together with several results related to the tests.
